A user agent capable of autonomous combining. The user agent can be implemented as a processor configured to promote receiving a first signal from an access node and a second signal from a relay node. The processor may be further configured to combine the first and second signals.
Claims26
A user agent, comprising:
- a processor configured to promote receiving a first signal from an access node and a second signal from a relay node, the processor further configured to combine the first and second signals.
A method implemented in a user agent, the method comprising:
- receiving a first signal from an access node;
- receiving a second signal from a relay node, and
- combining the first and second signals.
An access node comprising:
- a processor configured to provide an address indicating one of a plurality of relay nodes and further indicating one of a plurality of user agents, wherein the processor is further configured to promote transmission of the address to one or more of the plurality of relay nodes.
A method implemented in an access node, the method comprising:
- providing an address indicating one of a plurality of relay nodes and further indicating one of a plurality of user agents;
- and
- transmitting the address to one or more of the plurality of relay nodes.
