Method for optimising transmission resources by inter-cellular loop in a mobile cellular radio-communication network and corresponding local network and adaptors
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data exchanged by first and second terminals of a cellular radio-communication network comprising a radio-communication infrastructure network, wherein each of said terminals is respectively associated to a base station of said radio-communication infrastructure network, the method comprising:
- a step of analyzing the content of all or part of signaling messages exchanged by said terminals with the radio-communication infrastructure network;
a step of identifying, based on the step of analyzing, a short transmission path between said base stations, wherein said short transmission path defines a direct data transmission path between said base stations without passing via transcoding equipment present in said cellular radio-communication network, each of said base stations being respectively connected to local adaptor equipment; and
a step of transmitting at least part of said data via said short transmission path passing through said local adaptor equipment.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting data exchanged by two terminals in a cellular radiocommunication network, each of the terminals being respectively associated with a base station of the cellular network. The method includes: identifying a shortened transmission path between the base stations, the shortened transmission path defining a direct transmission path for the data between the base stations without transiting via transcoding equipment present in the cellular radiocommunication network; and transmitting at least a portion of the data via the shortened transmission path, which is also called an intercellular loop-back operation.
