Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and devices for supporting a transfer process of data in wireless communication networks. The transfer process comprises a decision step to relay data based on a comparison between a first data device's requirements on delivery time and a second device's estimate on the next time for obtaining network connectivity. In addition the transfer procedure considers the reliability required for a particular data piece and the probability of successful delivery provided by the relaying device.
