METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING MOBILE-TO-MOBILE CALLS IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A communication system is disclosed which reduces loop delay when a first wireless phone calls a second wireless phone wherein the first and second phones are served by the same relay station. The communication system includes a relay station for communicating with the first and second wireless phones. A transponder located in the relay station relays signals received from one mobile station on a first frequency band to another mobile station on a second frequency band. In addition, the transponder sends the received signals to a controller which controls the operation of the transponder using control information.
