  • Asymmetric cooperation in downlink cellular networks with relay stations
    Patent number: 7778598
    Abstract: In a wireless network using cooperative relaying, a set of messages are broadcast from a base station to a set of relay stations during a first phase of a scheduling interval. During a second phase of the scheduling interval, the set of messages from the set of relay stations are broadcasting cooperatively to a set of mobile stations, while broadcasting. While broadcasting, a time and a rate and a size of each message is optimized during the first phase, and a rate of each message is optimized during the second phase.
