First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method that facilitates an early processing of relay signals, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal within a sub-frame, wherein the signal is associated with a relay;
detecting a first reference symbol and a second reference symbol within the sub-frame, wherein the first reference symbol is detected before the second reference symbol; and
decoding the signal based on the first reference symbol.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed that facilitate an early decoding of relay signals. A relay receives a signal within a sub-frame from a network. A first and second reference symbol is detected within the sub-frame such that the first reference symbol is detected before the second reference symbol. The signal is then decode based on the first reference symbol.
