APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INTERLEAVING DATA IN A RELAY PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL (R-PDCCH)

摘要

A wireless network comprising a first base station operable to communicate with mobile stations and a plurality of relay stations for providing bi-directional communication between the first base station and a plurality of mobile stations. The first base station transmits a relay physical downlink control channel (R-PDCCH) in the downlink to the plurality of relay stations. The R-PDCCH comprises: i) a first search space comprising downlink (DL) grants associated with the plurality of relay stations; and ii) a second search space comprising uplink (UL) grants associated with the plurality of relay stations.
