1. A method of data exchange by Wide Area Network, WAN, radio data communication equipment operating as a radio base station, RBS, applied on a plurality of nautical vessels, for providing radio access to radio data communication equipment operating as a User Equipment, UE, applied on at least one nautical beacon, the WAN radio data communication equipment arranged for data exchange with radio data communication equipment operating as a UE applied on a same nautical vessel, and for data exchange with a terrestrial core data communication network, the method comprising:
receiving, by the WAN radio data communication equipment applied on a first nautical vessel, from the radio data communication equipment operating as a UE applied on the first nautical vessel, radio access collision information relating to WAN radio communication equipment applied on a second nautical vessel operating WAN radio access resources colliding with WAN radio access resources operated by the WAN radio communication equipment applied on the first nautical vessel;
reporting, by the WAN radio data communication equipment applied on the first nautical vessel, the radio access resource collision information to the terrestrial core data communication network;
receiving, by the WAN radio data communication equipment applied on the first nautical vessel, from the terrestrial core data communication network, radio resource allocation information for operating WAN radio access resources by the WAN radio data communication equipment applied on the first nautical vessel; and
establishing, by the WAN radio data communication equipment applied on the first nautical vessel, a radio data communication link with radio data communication equipment applied on at least one nautical beacon in an operating position thereof, based on the information for operating WAN radio access resources.
