Provision of relay operation information to a wireless communication network

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods to provide relay operation information to a wireless communication network. In a particular embodiment, a method provides determining information regarding operation of a wireless communication relay and transferring the information to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless communication network. The method further provides, based on the information, adjusting parameters for LTE communication paths that pass through the wireless communication relay.

主权项

1. A method of operating a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system, comprising:
a wireless communication relay determining a number of transmit paths, a number of receive paths, and an azimuth of the wireless communication relay and-transferring the number of transmit paths, the number of receive paths, and the azimuth of the wireless communication relay to an LTE eNodeB; the LTE eNodeB selecting a modulation coding scheme and a rank index for LTE communication paths that pass through the wireless communication relay based on the number of transmit paths, the number of receive paths, and the azimuth of the wireless communication relay; and the LTE eNodeB exchanging communications on the LTE communication paths through the wireless communication relay using the selected modulation coding scheme and the rank index.
