Apparatus and method for controlling relay mode of base station in communication system

摘要

An apparatus and a method for providing a relay service in a Base Station (BS) of a communication system are provided. The method includes detecting a communication state with a backhaul of the communication system, transmitting backhaul error occurrence information to at least one Mobile Station (MS) located in a service coverage area when communication with the backhaul is interrupted, selecting a neighbor BS from among one or more neighbor BSs as a target BS, and providing a relay service by connecting with the target BS.

1. A method for operating a base station (BS) in a communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to at least one mobile station (MS), a first message for notifying that an error occurred in a backhaul; transmitting, to a target BS, a second message for notifying that the error occurred in the backhaul; receiving, from the target BS, a third message for operating as a relay node; and generating a path between the at least one MS and the target BS as the relay node.
