Abstract:
1. A method of communicating with a relay node by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system using three types of subframes, the method comprising: receiving information on the three types of subframes from the relay node; communicating with the relay node on a first type subframe; and communicating with the relay node on a second type subframe, wherein no communication is performed with the relay node on a third type substrate, wherein the second type subframe is configured for communicating with one of the donor eNB (DeNB) and the UE at the relay node, wherein no communication is performed with the relay node on the second type subframe if the second type subframe is used for communicating with the DeNB, and wherein the first type subframe is a unicast subframe, the second type subframe is a contention based subframe, and the third type subframe is a relay node (RN) subframe.
