  • Publication number: 20080219255
    Abstract: A method, a wireless communication system, a communication apparatus, and a tangible machine-readable medium for establishing a routing path during a network entry process of an SS based on a multi-hop relay standard are provided. The wireless communication system comprises a BS, an SS, and an RS. The SS transmits an RNG-REQ of the SS by a ranging CID to the BS through the RS. The BS allocates an SS CID and a routing path for the SS, and transmits an RNG-RSP having the SS CID and the routing path by a path CID to the RS. The RS updates the SS CID and the routing path into a routing table of the RS after receiving the RNG-RSP, and transmits the RNG-RSP having the SS CID by the ranging CID to the SS.
