Abstract:
1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising: a receiver configured to receive, following a first phase transmission, a plurality of transmissions in a second phase, wherein each of the plurality of transmissions in the second phase are received from a base station (BS) over a BS link and a relay station (RS) over an RS link, wherein each of the plurality of transmissions in the second phase contains a subset of bits transmitted in the first phase transmission and contains a plurality of bits coded with different redundancy versions (RVs), wherein during the second phase transmissions, a first portion of the plurality of bits is received over the BS link and a second portion of the plurality of bits is received over the RS link, wherein the RS link is allocated a greater proportion of the plurality of bits on a condition that a link Quality of the RS link is stronger than a link Quality of the BS link, and wherein the BS link is allocated a greater proportion of the plurality of bits on a condition that the link quality of the BS link is stronger than the link quality of the RS link;
