Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for transmitting a message in response to receiving a message. One apparatus (300) includes a receiver (312) that receives (602) a second message from a second remote unit (200). The second message is transmitted from the second remote unit in response to the second remote unit receiving a first message from a first remote unit. The apparatus (300) includes a transmitter (310) that transmits (604) a third message corresponding to the first message in response to receiving the second message.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver that receives a second message from a second remote unit, wherein the second message is transmitted from the second remote unit in response to the second remote unit receiving a first message from a first remote unit, and the second message indicates that the second remote unit is a unidirectional relay device or that the second remote unit is a bidirectional relay device;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits a third message corresponding to the first message in response to receiving the second message, wherein transmitting the third message corresponding to the first message in response to receiving the second message comprises:
- in response to the second message indicating that the second remote unit is the unidirectional relay device, transmitting the third message directly to the first remote unit;
- and
- in response to the second message indicating that the second remote unit is the bidirectional relay device, transmitting the third message directly to the second remote unit.

A method comprising:
- receiving a second message from a second remote unit, wherein the second message is transmitted from the second remote unit in response to the second remote unit receiving a first message from a first remote unit, and the second message indicates that the second remote unit is a unidirectional relay device or that the second remote unit is a bidirectional relay device;
- and
- transmitting a third message corresponding to the first message in response to receiving the second message, wherein transmitting the third message corresponding to the first message in response to receiving the second message comprises:
- in response to the second message indicating that the second remote unit is the unidirectional relay device, transmitting the third message directly to the first remote unit;
- and
- in response to the second message indicating that the second remote unit is the bidirectional relay device, transmitting the third message directly to the second remote unit.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter that transmits a first message to a second remote unit, wherein the second remote unit transmits a second message to a base unit, and the second message indicates that the second remote unit is a unidirectional relay device or that the second remote unit is a bidirectional relay device;
- and
- a receiver that receives a third message corresponding to the first message in response to transmitting the first message, wherein receiving the third message corresponding to the first message in response to transmitting the first message comprises:
- in response to the second message indicating that the second remote unit is the unidirectional relay device, receiving the third message directly from the base unit;
- and
- in response to the second message indicating that the second remote unit is the bidirectional relay device, receiving the third message directly from the second remote unit.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver that receives a first message from a first remote unit;
- a process that:
- generates measurement information;
- and
- determines whether a transmission criterion is satisfied based on the first message, measurement information, or some combination thereof;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits a second message to a base unit in response to the transmission criterion being satisfied, wherein the second message indicates that the apparatus is a unidirectional relay device or that the apparatus is a bidirectional relay device;
- wherein the receiver receives a third message from the base unit corresponding to the first message in response to transmitting the second message, wherein receiving the third message corresponding to the first message in response to transmitting the second message comprises:
- in response to the second message indicating that the second remote unit is the bidirection relay device, receiving the third message directly from the base unit.
