Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting information among base stations, relay stations, and subscriber stations in a wireless relay communication network, comprising: using a frame structure to allowing a base station and a plurality of relay stations forming a relay station topology to transmit in parts of a downlink subframe of the frame structure, wherein the frame structure includes a base station zone, followed by a relay station zone, the base station zone used for the base station to perform downlink transmissions, comprises: the relay station zone used for a third relay station to perform downlink transmissions, wherein the relay station zone includes a third group of data from the third relay station; and causing the first relay station to receive the relay protocol data unit for the first relay station, decode the received relay protocol data unit into a decoded subordinate relay protocol data unit and one or more decoded protocol data units, transmit the one or more decoded protocol data units to one or more subscriber stations, respectively, and transmit the decoded subordinate relay protocol data unit to the second relay station to cause the second relay station to transmit one or more protocol data units to one or more one or more subscriber stations.
