A method for relay node operations, the method comprising: determining if a first transmission has been detected in a first control region, wherein the first transmission comprises an encoded payload that was rate matched to ensure that the first transmission is substantially fully occupied; and decoding the detected first transmission to determine a location of a second transmission if the first transmission has been detected in the first control region, wherein the first transmission is determined to have not been transmitted if the first transmission has not been detected. |
