METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR SETTING PROPERTIES OF A RELAY/REPEATER NODE IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for setting properties of a forwarding node. The forwarding node represents a relay or a repeater. The method includes establishing a connection for sending Direct Transfer messages between the forwarding node and a radio network node and sending to the radio network node a first Direct Transfer message. The first Direct Transfer message includes a relay indication, indicating to the radio network node that the first Direct Transfer message was sent from a forwarding node. The method also includes receiving from the radio network node a second Direct Transfer message, comprising setting information for setting properties of the forwarding node and setting the properties of the forwarding node based on the setting information.
