METHOD AND SYSTEM OF FLOW CONTROL IN MULTI-HOP WIRELESS ACCESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal adapted to receive packets directly from a first transceiver and to receive packets indirectly from the first transceiver via a relay transceiver, the mobile terminal being further adapted to:
- detect a gap in a received packet flow;
upon detecting a gap in the received packet flow, wait a period of time for the gap to be filled before transmitting a control message indicating occurrence of the gap.

Abstract
A system, method and relay transceiver for multi-hop wireless communications. In the relay, there is a receiver for adapted to receive packets on a first wireless link collectively destined for at least one mobile terminal. The transmitter buffers them and then transmits the packets on a second wireless link. A flow control function is implemented to provide flow control over the first wireless link to limit an amount buffered in the relay transceiver for a given mobile terminal.
