Abstract
A method for providing user agent data. The method includes an access node receiving an indicator sent from a relay node as an indication that the relay node has received data from the user agent.
Claims20
An access node in a wireless telecommunications network, the access node comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- make a first determination that a first user agent (UA) is to communicate indirectly with the access node through a relay node;
- make a second determination that a second UA is to communicate directly with the access node;
- and
- make a third determination of an allocation of resources to the first UA and the second UA based on the first determination and the second determination.

A method implemented in a wireless telecommunications network, the method comprising:
- making a first determination that a first user agent (UA) is to communicate through a relay node;
- making a second determination that a second UA is to communicate without the relay node;
- making a third determination of an allocation of resources to the first UA and the second UA based on the first determination and the second determination.
A relay node in a wireless telecommunications network, the relay node comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to determine an association of the relay node with a first user agent (UA);
- and
- a receiver coupled to the processor and configured to receive from an access node a first indication of an allocation of reserved subframes,
- wherein the allocation is based on the association and based on a second UA not being associated with the relay node, and
- wherein the allocation allocates at least one of the reserved subframes to the first UA and at least one remaining subframe to the second UA.
