  • Basic networks of the type in question are formed, for example, by conventional fixed telephone networks or also by mobile radio networks, such as, for example, GSM or PHS networks, the latter networks also being referred to as cellular networks due to their administrative structure. Due to an ever increasing number of possible uses provided by the known networks, and due to the resulting ever increasing use of telecommunication networks, the known basic networks are currently approaching their capacity limit. Capacity limits of four million possible participants are typical in Germany, for example. The creation of additional capacities, which will be required in the near future, entails enormous costs for network operators due to very high investments in the device. The cost of this is in the region of billions of German marks and means a very high economic burden for a network operator.
  • a way out of this problem could be formed by telecommunication networks that are based on a different basic structure than previously used networks.

  • investment costs for transmission relays which are usually to be built in the field of the telecommunications network, are thus eliminated. Consequently, such a relay radio network represents a low-investment telecommunications network.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a telecommunications network and a method for operating a telecommunications network of the type mentioned at the outset, according to which an expansion of capacity is achieved with simple and inexpensive means.

It is essential that the gateways do not have to be managed by a central administration, rather they can be operated by independent providers and, if necessary, purchased.

Furthermore, the radio network subscriber could experience several alternative relays or alternative relay routes in order to maintain the connection in the event of a fault. In addition, the relay radio network subscriber could learn more information about establishing, maintaining and clearing the radio connection, such as, for example, channel selection and transmission parameters. Finally, information about possible services and costs could also be made available to him.
  • Communication with the gateway could take place several times, for example at the beginning or during or at the end of the connection. This could favor charging processes that are carried out by the basic network. In particular, this communication could serve to register or deregister a relay radio network subscriber, so that it can be located by means of the infrastructure of the original base network.

  • the end user devices could be designed such that they can be operated both in the basic network and in the radio network. This would result in multi-function devices.
