Claim 13:
14. A method of controlling transmission of a network node in a network, the network node being configured to transmit or receive in a first communication mode using a first network technology and in a second communication mode using a second network technology on a time sharing basis according to a predetermined duty cycle, wherein the method comprises:
determining a preferred communication mode of a target node of the transmission, the preferred mode being a communication mode of the target node, out of the first and second communication mode, that the target node uses most; and
selecting one of the first and second communication modes for the transmission to the target node based on the determined preferred communication mode of the target node,
wherein the preferred communication mode is based on information about the target node, which information is retrieved from the target node directly, indirectly from a further node or gateway, or may result from pre-configured rules.
