Abstract
A method and arrangement for connecting an ad-hoc communication network () to a permanent communication network () via a half-duplex communication link (). The ad-hoc communication network is established between communication devices (-) and a gateway device () using a routing protocol that is run in the gateway device and in the communication devices. Relaying of data between the ad-hoc communication network and the permanent communication network is controlled by setting the following relaying operations into a pre-determined order of mutual priority: relaying data from the ad-hoc communication network to the permanent communication network and relaying data from the permanent communication network to the ad-hoc communication network. The pre-determined order of priority facilitates data transfer via the half-duplex communication link between the permanent communication network and the ad-hoc communication network that can be either a full-duplex network or a half-duplex network.
