Abstract:
    This application relates to techniques for reducing the signalling overhead associated with multi-hop communication systems which require one or more administrative signals to be transmitted over more than one of the multi-hop communication links. Administrative signal processing means are described for deriving a) an absolute administrative signal which is indicative of an absolute value derived by a communication apparatus of the multi-hop system; and b) at least one relative administrative signal which is indicative of a value derived by another communication apparatus of the multi-hop system relative to said absolute value. Particularly applicable to multi-hop communication systems which utilise resource control techniques for balancing the transmission resources allocated to each of the communication links.
