A relay design backward compatible with existing wireless communication networks. The invention provides details of apparatus and methods to enable operation of inband relays. Using a grant-based inhibit mechanism, a Relay and an eNB can efficiently cooperate to improve the performance by allowing one of either UE or the Relay to transmit on the uplink. Similarly, the UE overrides any pre-determined schedule (i.e., absence of Reference Signals) by searching for a scheduling grant and if the UE find the scheduling grant, the UE can assume that the Relay has overridden the pre-determined schedule temporarily.
