METHOD AND APPARATUS TO FACILITATE AN EARLY DECODING OF SIGNALS IN RELAY BACKHAUL LINKS

摘要

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed that facilitate an early decoding of relay signals. A relay receives a signal within a sub-frame from a network. A first and second reference symbol is detected within the sub-frame such that the first reference symbol is detected before the second reference symbol. The signal is then decode based on the first reference symbol.
