Abstract:
1. A partner relay system for use in a communication system allowing for communication between at least one base station transceiver and a plurality of mobile station transceivers, the partner relay system comprising: a first relay adapted to: receive a first signal from the at least one base station transceiver for transmission to a first mobile station transceiver, wherein the first signal is received on a first wireless transmission resource; perform a first signal translation on the first signal to a second transmission resource; and re-transmit the first signal on the second wireless transmission resource; a second relay in a spaced arrangement from said first relay adapted to: receive the first signal on the second wireless transmission resource from the first relay; perform a second signal translation to re-translate the first signal to the first wireless transmission resource; and re-transmit the first signal to the first mobile station transceiver on the first wireless transmission resource; wherein the first wireless transmission resource is a transmission resource allocated for transmissions between the at least one base station transceiver and a first one or more mobile station transceivers and the second wireless transmission resource is a transmission resource originally allocated for transmissions between the at least one base station transceiver and a second one or more mobile station transceivers, and wherein the first one or more mobile station transceivers comprises the first mobile station transceiver.
