Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: determining access subframes and backhaul subframes of a first relay, the access subframes and the backhaul subframes corresponding to different non-overlapping subsets of subframes of the first relay; communicating, via the first relay, with at least one user equipment (UE) during the access subframes of the first relay; communicating, via the first relay, with a base station during the backhaul subframes of the first relay, subframe numbers of the first relay being offset at each time instance from subframe numbers of a second relay communicating with the base station, and the access subframes and the backhaul subframes of the first relay having a same subframe number as access subframes and backhaul subframes of the second relay.
