22. The relay station according to claim 21, wherein the base station performs communications by monitoring active connections with the subscriber station and the relay station, each such connection having a connection ID, and the processor is arranged to include the connection ID of its connection with the base station within the MAC header of the new packet.
1. Operations in RS
Referring to FIG. 7, the following operations take place on the RS side after the RS receives multiple packets from the connected radio devices.
2. Operations in BS
Referring to FIG. 11, the following operations take place on the BS side after the BS receives the new packet having the combined MAC PDU from the RS:
Define a protocol for an RS to process the received packets.
Minimize the PHY overhead by classifying and combining received packets in RS.
Decreases the collision probability for the contention style packets between RS and BS.
Embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in hardware, or as software modules running on one or more processors, or on a combination thereof. That is, those skilled in the art will appreciate that a microprocessor or digital signal processor (DSP) may be used in practice to implement some or all of the functionality of the RS or BS in embodiments of the present invention. It is also possible to provide each SS with some or all of the functionality of the RS. The invention may also be embodied as one or more device or apparatus programs (e.g. computer programs and computer program products) for carrying out part or all of any of the methods described herein. Such programs embodying the present invention may be stored on computer-readable media, or could, for example, be in the form of one or more signals. Such signals may be data signals downloadable from an Internet website, or provided on a carrier signal, or in any other form.
