Abstract: A downlink signal is received at an origination device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) device). In response to receiving the downlink signal, the origination device transmits an uplink signal to a signal forwarding device. The uplink signal received, at the signal forwarding device, from the origination device is a “received signal,” which contains a destination identifier. The signal forwarding device transmits a “forwarded signal” to a destination associated with the destination identifier. The “forwarded signal” is based on the contents of the “received signal” and/or any information that may be ascertained from the “received signal.” The received signal may also contain a downlink channel feedback report and/or an acknowledgment response. Based on the forwarded signal, a signal forwarding scheme may be selected.
