Abstract:
1. A method for wideband short-range wireless communication, the method comprising: determining a change of a relay operation type based on a link quality between a source node and a relay node, a link quality between the relay node and a destination node, and a link quality between the source node and the destination node, wherein transmitting a relay operation change (ROC) request message in response to a determination of the change of the relay operation type; receiving an ROC response message corresponding to the ROC request message; reusing an existing value of a beamforming parameter and a value of a transmission time-point adjustment (TPA) parameter in response to the determination of the change of the relay operation type from the link switching type to the link cooperating type before a period of time, set to a timer, passes; and re-performing a beamforming process and a TPA process in response to the determination of the change of the relay operation type from the link switching type to the link cooperating type after a period of time, set to the timer, passes.
