Subframe Allocation for In-Band Relay Nodes

摘要

A coordinating node avoids or reduces interference between relay nodes by coordinating subframe allocation for the interfering relay nodes. The coordinating node identifies the interfering relay nodes that require the same subframe allocation and provides the necessary signaling so that the involved nodes get information concerning the subframe allocations. The system may be implemented using a centralized node (e.g., OAM) or distributed coordinating nodes.
