1. A method of controlling operation of at least one transmitter and/or one receiver in at least one node of a communication system for transmission of signals, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a signal from a transmitter to a receiver on a non-periodical basis at a time indicated by a previous signal transmitted from the transmitter and received by the receiver, the transmitter signal including a message frame having a message part indicative of a time of transmission for a later signal;
registering by the at least one receiver the message part indicative of the time of transmission for the later signal; and
facilitating a transition of one of the at least one transmitter, the at least one receiver or both the transmitter and the receiver from and into a power saving state when no signal is being conveyed.

22. A communication system for transmission of signals, the communication system comprising:
-
at least one transmitter configured to be able to include a message part indicative of a time of transmission for a later signal when transmitting a transmitter signal on a non-periodical basis at a time indicated by a previous signal transmitted from the transmitter and received by the receiver; at least one receiver including control means for performing a time control in dependence on the message part indicative of the time of transmission for the later signal; and means for facilitating a transition of one of the at least one transmitter, the at least one receiver or both the transmitter and the receiver from a power saving state, into the power saving state, or from and into the power saving state in dependence on the message part indicative of the time of transmission for the later signal, said means being configured to facilitate when no signal is being received. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35)
