Abstract
Responder-aware relay station selection in a wireless communication network is provided. One implementation includes evaluating operational parameters of multiple candidate wireless relay stations, and selecting a wireless relay station among the multiple candidate wireless relay stations based on the evaluation. A wireless communication is transmitted to the selected wireless relay station over a wireless communication medium.
Claims32
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- signaling a relay selection process to one or more wireless stations to obtain relaying operational parameters of multiple candidate wireless relay stations;
- evaluating relaying operational parameters of said multiple candidate wireless relay stations;
- selecting a wireless relay station among the multiple candidate wireless relay stations based on the evaluation;
- and
- initiating the transmission of a wireless communication to the selected wireless relay station over a wireless communication medium.
2 more elements
A wireless communication station, comprising:
- a relay selection module that signals a relay selection process to one or more wireless stations to obtain relaying operational parameters of multiple candidate wireless relay stations, wherein relay selection module evaluates relaying operational parameters of multiple candidate wireless relay stations, and selects a wireless relay station among the multiple candidate wireless relay stations based on the evaluation;
- and
- a communication layer that initiates the transmission of a wireless communication to the selected wireless relay station over a wireless communication medium.
A coordinator wireless communication station, comprising:
- a relay selection module that selects a wireless relay station among multiple candidate wireless relay stations, for an initiator wireless station and a responder wireless station;
- wherein the relay selection module signals a relay selection process to one or more wireless stations to obtain relaying operational parameters of multiple candidate wireless relay stations, such that the relay selection module evaluates operational parameters of said multiple candidate wireless relay stations and selects a wireless relay station based on the evaluation.
