    摘要: The invention provides a method of transferring resource control unit operational control functionality within a single frequency network, in which multiple transmission points transmit identical downlink data packets in a synchronized manner, from a first node to a second node, the method comprising receiving at a resource control unit a set of resource control information from at least one candidate node; determining using the resource control information a suitability of the at least one candidate node to be the second node; and initiating transfer of the resource control unit operational control functionality from the first node to the second node.
