Abstract
A mobile communications network, method, and base station arranged to request and analyze measurement information from one or more infrastructure units including one or more relay nodes and one or more mobile communication terminals. The base station then sets forwarding rules in a relay node according to the measurement information reported so that the relay mode may forward any data received as soon as possible, or aggregate data over a period of time and only forward it once predetermined conditions have been met.
