Abstract: A method of enhancing a communication capability of a communication unit (112), operating in a communication system (100) that facilitates communication to and/or from a plurality of communication units, is described. The method includes the step of operably coupling a first communication unit (112) to one or more neighbouring communication units (114, 116) such that said communication unit is able to utilise at least one operational capability of one or more of its neighbouring communication units to enhance communication to and/or from said first communication unit. This provides the advantage that a collective use of neighbouring communication units, for example formed in an aggregate group, provide a more reliable uplink and/or downlink communication link without using more network resources. In particular, the transmitting/receiving communication unit is able to utilise functionality in neighbouring communication units to which it can be operably connected. Furthermore, the wireless or wired communication link efficiency is improved and higher data rate throughput can be realized.
