Abstract:
A method by an end node (102) operating in a Mesh communications network (100) is described herein. The end node (102) monitors (601), a first channel, for transmissions of first information from one or more relay nodes (103) operating in the network. The first information indicates transmission, from the one or more relay nodes (103), of second information on a second channel associated with the first channel. The second information indicates transmission, from the one or more relay nodes (103), of third information on a third channel. The third channel is associated with the second channel and the first channel. The end node (102) then determines (603), based on the second information, time periods during which no transmission of the third information is predicted to be performed by the one or more relay nodes (103) on the third channel. The end node (102) then schedules (604) a transmission of fourth information in a fourth channel during the determined time periods.
