Abstract
Various example embodiments are disclosed relating to relay networks or multi-hop networks, and also relating to power control and channel reuse techniques for wireless relay networks. A technique of power control in a wireless relay network may include receiving a channel measurement report via a relay station from a mobile station attached to the relay station, and determining a mobile station-specific downlink data transmission power level for the relay station to transmit data to the mobile station based at least in part on the received channel measurement report from the mobile station.

19. A method of power control in a wireless relay network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first channel measurement report via a first relay station from a first mobile station attached to the first relay station and a second channel measurement report via a second relay station from a second mobile station attached to the second relay station, the first channel measurement report indicating a channel quality for signals received at the first mobile station from the first relay station and the second channel measurement report indicating a channel quality for signals received at the second mobile station from the second relay station; and assigning the first mobile station and the second mobile station to a same channel for downlink data transmission from the first and second relay stations, respectively, if the channel quality in the first measurement report and the channel quality in the second measurement report are greater than a threshold. - View Dependent Claims (20)
