Abstract
Within a communication system (100), a communication can be switched from a system mode of operation to a direct mode of operation when the distance relationship between the units (102, 103) involved in the communication is obtained. Having obtained the distance relationship between the units (102, 103), that distance is compared with a predetermined threshold. When the distance relationship is favorable with respect to the threshold, the communication is transferred to a direct mode of operation. If however the distance relationship is unfavorable to the threshold, the communication stays on the system communication resource.
