1. A method for associating data packets with radio link resource allocations in a wireless network, the method comprising:
scheduling radio links for transmitting data packets to one or more mobile stations via one or more relay stations, each radio links provides a wireless connection between two radio stations, the radio stations comprise a base station, the one or more relay stations, and the one or more mobile stations, wherein the one or more relay stations comprise a first relay station; determining a resource allocation, based on the scheduling, that at least allocates bandwidth on one of the radio links for a transmission of one or more of the data packets; generating one or more mapping references for one or more of the data packets associated with the resource allocation, each mapping reference links at least one data packet to a respective allocation of bandwidth; and transmitting the resource allocation, one or more mapping references, and data packets to the first relay station, wherein the first relay station re-transmits the data packets in accordance with the resource allocation and the one or more mapping references, wherein the resource allocation is transmitted separately from the one or more mapping references and the data packets, wherein at least one of the mapping references is transmitted with at least one of the data packets and the one or more mapping references comprise a target transmission frame index that identifies a transmission slot for a subsequent transmission of a data packet and an allocation index that identifies an allocation of bandwidth associated with a data packet. |
