<p>A mobile station (240) is operated in a telecommunications system (225) that includes a base station (220) and one or more relay stations (230, 231-235). The mobile station communicates directly with the base station via a first channel. To facilitate selection of a suitable relay station, the mobile station broadcasts a burst (513) for receipt (515) by a plurality of relay stations. Relay stations each measure a quality of the received burst (517) and communicate this information to the base satation (519), which uses the information to select a most suitable one of therelay stations (523) for use in carrying on indirect communications between the base station and the mobile station. ® KIPO & WIPO 2008</p> |
