APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING RELAY LINK ZONE INFORMATION IN A MULTI-HOP RELAY BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method for providing relay link zone information in a multi-hop relay Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system, where a Base Station (BS) performs a network entry procedure with a Relay Station (RS) during an initial access of the RS to the BS, generates a message including relay link zone information regarding a relay link zone in which the BS communicates with the RS, processes the message in a physical layer, and transmits the processed message to the RS.
