SYSTEMS USING MOBILE TERMINALS HAVING SHORT LINK RADIOS

摘要

Methods and systems using short link radios (SLRs) with mobile terminals are disclosed. A mobile terminal having a SLR connects to other mobile terminals having SLRs over a SLR link to increase the troughput, the QoS, or both of the system. The mobile terminals establish a SLR link between a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal. Both mobile terminals receive data transmitted from a base station intended for the first mobile terminal. The second mobile terminal then retransmits the data received by the second mobile terminal to the first mobile terminal via the SLR link.
