Abstract:
1. A method for allocating resources of a wireless communication system, the method including: determining power levels of downlink (DL) communication channels between a base station and a user agent (UA) and between each of a plurality of relay nodes (RNs) and the UA; determining coupling losses of uplink (UL) communication channels between the base station and the UA and between each of the plurality of RNs and the UA; and when the power level of the DL communication channel between the base station and the UA is greater than the power levels of the DL communication channels between each of the plurality of RNs and the UA, and the coupling losses of the UL communication channel between at least one of the RNs and the UA are less than the coupling losses of the UL communication channel between the base station and the UA:
