Abstract: A telecommunications network has a packet switched domain for handling packet based calls and a circuit switched telephony domain for handling circuit switched calls. A node of the packet switched telephony domain decides whether to terminate a call to a user equipment using a packet based connection to the user equipment or using a circuit switched connection to the user equipment.

In accordance with the indication, the further node may then adapt its control signalling with respect to a node of the circuit switched telephony domain.

Abstract: A method performed by a first network node for reducing the number of colliding transmissions in a mesh network is provided. The first network node and the second network node are configured to use periodic advertising for transmissions in the mesh network.

Based on the first and second duration the first network node decides (403) whether or not to decrease the first size of the transmission to a second size, so that first duration becomes shorter than the second duration. The first network then performs (404) the transmission according to the outcome of the deciding (403).
