Abstract:
1. A method for managing communication routing from a subscriber station to a base station within a wireless multi-hop network having one or more relay stations, the method comprising: establishing a communication link between the subscriber station and the base station; determining a base station signal quality and a base station timing offset from the subscriber station to the base station; receiving by the base station from each of the one or more relay stations an associated relay station signal quality and an associated relay station timing offset from the subscriber station to the base station through each of the one or more relay stations; identifying by the base station a best communication route from the subscriber station to the base station using the base station signal quality, the base station timing offset, each of the associated relay station signal qualities, and each of the associate relay station timing offsets; and transmitting from the base station to the subscriber station a timing correction value associated with the identified best communication route.
