Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a first type node (AP) in a wireless communication system (), wherein the first type node (AP) is adapted to: —communicate with at least one other first type node (AP) in the wireless communication system () over a corresponding backhaul channel (H) by means of one of at least one type of signal relaying that employs decoding and encoding, and —communicate with a corresponding group of second type nodes (U, U) via a corresponding access channel (h, h), each group of second type nodes (U, U) comprising at least one second type node (U, U). In the case of a backhaul channel (H') between the first type node (AP) and one other first type node (AP) being determined to be blocked to a certain degree, the first type node (AP) is further adapted to instruct at least one second type node (U) of the second type nodes in the group of second type nodes (U, U) that is comprised in an over-heard sub-group, to communicate directly with an overhearing first type node (AP) via a corresponding access channel (h).
