  • Relaying system and method with partner relays and selective transmission
    Patent number: 8942158
    Abstract: Partner relay systems and methods are provided in which relaying is performed by a pair of partner relays. Signals received from a base station are translated by a first of the pair of partner relays to a different transmission resource for communication between the pair of partner relays, and then upon reception by a second of the pair of partner relays, the signal is translated back to the original transmission resource and re-transmitted towards the receiver.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 27, 2015
    Assignee: Apple Inc.
    Inventors: Shalini Periyalwar, Koon Hoo Teo, Mo-Han Fong, David Falconer
  • Scheduling apparatus and method of relay-based network
    Patent number: 8565144
    Abstract: Disclosed are a scheduling method and apparatus for a relay-based network. The scheduling apparatus may assign a plurality of sub channels to links, with respect to each of a first sub frame and a second sub frame included in s downlink sub frame. The scheduling apparatus may perform scheduling in cases where nodes operated as transmitters and as receivers in the first sub frame and the second sub frame may diversely exist.

  • Apparatus and method for allocating subchannels and controlling interference in OFDMA systems
    Patent number: 8339975
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for controlling interference. The apparatus may receive interference information about at least one subchannel which is allocated to at least one node in an OFDMA system. The apparatus may create an interference list using the interference information. The apparatus may report the interference list to a radio network controller (RNC).
