ABSTRACT:
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a wireless transmission method for use in a multi-hop wireless communication system includes determining for a particular transmission at least one measure of the expected link characteristics for at least two links of a communication path, and for each of those links, configuring a particular transmission window by setting its shape and/or a transmission format to be used in that window in dependence upon the measure for that link only. Furthermore, the method includes, during that particular transmission, transmitting information along those links using, for each of those links, the particular transmission window for that link.
