Claim Text:
1. A method of a node indicating downlink channel measurement in a relaying system, comprising: receiving, from a user equipment, information on interferers; generating, based on downlink subframe configuration information, at least one downlink channel measurement indication, corresponding to possible combinations of the interferers, configured to indicate a subframe group to be measured by the user equipment; sending the at least one downlink channel measurement indication to the user equipment, thereby instructing the user equipment to perform a downlink channel measurement corresponding to the at least one downlink channel measurement indication; and forming the possible combinations of the interferers received from the user equipment, wherein the downlink subframe configuration information is represented by bitmaps, and wherein the downlink channel measurement indication is generated by performing, based on a type of the user equipment and properties of the interferers, a logic operation on the bitmaps representing corresponding downlink subframe configuration information.
