APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ALLOCATING A DEDICATED ACCESS ZONE TO RELAY STATION (RS) IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS (BWA) COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A communicating method of a Relay Station (RS) in a multihop relay wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- relaying communications between a Base Station (BS) and a Mobile Station (MS);
determining whether a dedicated resource is necessary for the communications with the MS;
when the dedicated resource is necessary, generating a dedicated access zone request message which comprises necessary bandwidth information; and
transmitting the dedicated access zone request message to the BS.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for allocating a dedicated access zone to a Relay Station (RS) in a multihop relay Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system are provided. A communicating method of the RS includes relaying communications between a Base Station (BS) and a Mobile Station (MS), determining whether a dedicated resource is necessary for the communications with the MS, when the dedicated resource is necessary, generating a dedicated access zone request message which comprises necessary bandwidth information and transmitting the dedicated access zone request message to the BS.
