Claim Text:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: receiving, from a base station at a relay node, a set of user equipment (UE) identifiers (IDs) for a set of UEs served by the base station; obtaining, at the relay node, UE channel measurements based at least in part on the set of UE IDs and uplink (UL) scheduling information for the set of UEs, the UL scheduling information sent to the set of UEs and obtained by the relay node transparently; and receiving, from the base station at the relay node, an assignment to provide wireless service to a subset of the set of UEs based at least in part on the UE channel measurements and whether a signal to be transmitted comprises voice information, data information, and control information, the assignment selecting a plurality of relay nodes to simultaneously provide wireless service to at least one UE of the subset of UEs when the UE channel measurements for each of the plurality of relay nodes is greater than a threshold, the assignment being based at least in part on an incremental redundancy policy comprising a correlation of the voice information, the data information, and the control information to the plurality of relay nodes, the correlation specified for decoding, signal conditioning, and retransmitting to the subset of the set of UEs.
