Abstract
Methods for exchanging signals via a network with nodes (-) improve the performance of the network by letting a destination node () s receive the signals originating from a source node () via different first and second signal routes, and by processing and correlating these signals in the destination node (). In dependence of a correlation result, a process for processing a signal in a node (-) is adjusted. This process may be situated in the destination node (), or in the source node () or an io intermediate node (-), in which case a control signal is to be exchanged. A learning algorithm for the adjusting of the process can be run in the nodes (-). Label switched routing can be introduced, whereby the label signal is sent from the source node () to the destination node via a third signal route different from the first and second signal route, to improve the efficiency of the nodes (-).
