1. A mobile communication system comprising:
- a plurality of base stations, a relay station associated with the plurality of base stations, and a plurality of mobile stations associated with the plurality of base stations,wherein, in a first relaying mode, each base station is to transmit data to the relay station, the data to be forwarded to at least one mobile station of the plurality of mobile stations by the relay station using first communication resources,wherein the first communication resources are identical for all base stations of the plurality of base stations,wherein, in a second relaying mode, the relay station is to transmit data to the plurality of mobile stations using second communication resources, andwherein the second communication resources are identical for all mobile stations of the plurality of mobile stations; and
the relay station comprises processor circuitry coupled with memory circuitry, the processor circuitry to execute instructions stored by the memory circuitry to;
determine, for an individual mobile station of the plurality of mobile stations, a distance between the individual mobile station and at least one base station of the plurality of base stations or between the individual mobile station and the relay station;
determine, for the individual mobile station, whether data transmission between the at least one base station and the individual mobile station is to be carried out in the first relaying mode or in the second relaying mode based on the determined distance; and
allocate the first communication resources for the data transmission when the data transmission is to be transmitted according to the first relaying mode or allocate the second communication resources for the data transmission when the data transmission is to be transmitted according to the second relaying mode.

13. One or more non-transitory computer readable media (NTCRM) comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a relay station, is to cause the relay station to:
-
determine a distance between a user equipment (UE) of a plurality of UEs in a mobile communication system and an evolved nodeB (eNB) of a plurality of eNBs in the mobile communication system or a distance between the UE and the relay station, wherein the relay station is deployed in the mobile communication system; determine whether a data transmission between the eNB and the UE should be transmitted according to a first relaying mode or a second relaying mode based on the determined distance, wherein, in the first relaying mode, each eNB of the plurality of eNBs is to transmit data to the relay station to be forwarded to at least one UE of the plurality of UEs by the relay station using first communication resources, wherein the first communication resources are identical for all eNBs of the plurality of eNBs, and wherein, in the second relaying mode, the relay station is to transmit data to the plurality of UEs using second communication resources, and wherein the second communication resources are identical for all UEs of the plurality of UEs; allocate the first communication resources for the data transmission when the data transmission is to be transmitted according to the first relaying mode or allocate the second communication resources for the data transmission when the data transmission is to be transmitted according to the second relaying mode; and forward the data transmission to the UE or the eNB using the first communication resources when the data transmission is to be transmitted according to the first relaying mode, wherein, in the second relaying mode, the data transmission is to be directly transmitted between the UE and the eNB using the second communication resources. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
