APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING FRAME INFORMATION IN MULTI-HOP RELAY BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An upper node in a wireless communication system using a relay scheme, the upper node comprising:
- means for transmitting, upon a request of a lower relay station for an initial connection of the lower relay station, downlink section information for communication with the lower relay station for a relay service to the lower relay station; and
means for transmitting, after the initial connection with the lower relay station, frame configuration information for communication with the lower relay station for a relay service to the lower relay station through the downlink section,wherein the downlink section information includes configuration information of the downlink section for communication with the lower relay station for a relay service.

Abstract
An upper node is provided for use in a wireless communication system using a relay scheme. The upper node includes means for transmitting, upon a request of a lower relay station for an initial connection of the lower relay station, downlink section information for communication with the lower relay station for a relay service to the lower relay station; and means for transmitting, after the initial connection with the lower relay station, frame configuration information for communication with the lower relay station for a relay service to the lower relay station through the downlink section. The downlink section information includes configuration information of the downlink section for communication with the lower relay station for a relay service.
