Abstract:
In response to an instruction received from a base station, a signal forwarding device applies a signal forwarding scheme selected from a plurality of signaling forwarding schemes by a scheduler. The signal forwarding scheme may be applied by the signal forwarding device to forward signals from the base station to a user equipment (UE) device and/or from the UE device to the base station. The scheduler selects the signal forwarding scheme based on channel characteristics of the channel between the signal forwarding device and the UE device and/or the channel between the signal forwarding device and the base station. Although at least some of the channel characteristics are determined by the base station, at least some of the channel characteristics can be determined by the signal forwarding device in some situations.

Claim (Index 1):
A signal forwarding device comprising:\n a receiver configured to receive a received signal and configured to receive a signal forwarding scheme instruction from a base station, the signal forwarding scheme instruction indicating a selected signal forwarding scheme selected from a plurality of signal forwarding schemes comprising a first signal forwarding scheme having a first decoding level and a second signal forwarding scheme having a second decoding level greater than the first decoding level; a transmitter configured to transmit a forwarded signal based on the received signal; and a signal forwarding processor configured to apply, in response to the scheme instruction, the selected signal forwarding scheme to the received signal to generate the forwarded signal.
