INTERLEAVED FRAME STRUCTURE ENABLING RELAY AND ACCESS LINKS TO SHARE A CHANNEL FOR MULTI-HOP WIRELESS BROADBAND ACCESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

An interleaved frame structure provides the ability for access links and relay links to share a single channel and enable the transmission of packet information across a 2-hop path within one frame. The interleaved frame structure in combination with fast processing at the Relay Station (RS) allows scheduled packet information to travel from a Mobile Subscriber (MS) to its MR enabled base station (MR-BS) within one frame.
