ABSTRACT:
Methods for use in multi-hop relay networks are described. One method includes receiving a first message from a first relay station requesting a temporary suspension of communication between the first relay station and one or more user equipment. In response to receiving the first message, a second message is transmitted to the one or more user equipment. The second message includes instructions to the user equipment to temporarily suspend communication with the first relay station at a specific time. A third message is transmitted to the first relay station. A scanning operation is performed at the specified time in response to receiving the third message. A second method for use in multi-hop relay networks is also described. The second method includes transmitting a neighbor information message. The neighbor information message includes a relay zone offset indicating the start of a station in a frame structure. Several apparatus are also described.
