Publication number: 20250261082Abstract: A wireless relay communication apparatus is operated and is adapted to exclusively communicate over a second wireless communication channel, which is incompatible in at least one property, aspect, or parameter, with a first wireless communication channel. A message indicating a capacity to act as a relay in the second communication channel is transmitted over the second wireless communication channel. A transmission, received over the second communication channel from a source communication apparatus, includes information enabling the relay communication apparatus to determine that the transmission is to be relayed to a destination communication apparatus. Accordingly, the relay communication apparatus relays the transmission to the destination communication apparatus over the second communication channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2023Publication date: August 14, 2025Applicant: Continental Automotive Technologies GmbHInventors: David Gonzalez Gonzalez, Andreas Andrae, Rikin Shah, Osvaldo Gonsa, Hueseyin Daglioglu
