Abstract:
Various example embodiments are disclosed relating to relay networks or multi-hop networks, and also relating to bandwidth allocation for relay networks. According to an example embodiment, a method of allocating bandwidth in a relay network may include receiving at a relay station a first code (e.g., a first CDMA code) from a first station (e.g., mobile station) via a first link, sending a second code (e.g., second CDMA code) from the relay station to a second station (e.g., a base station) via a second link in response to receiving the first code, the second code being one of a plurality of codes assigned to the relay station, and receiving a bandwidth allocation message at the relay station from the second station, the bandwidth allocation message including the second code and indicating an allocation of bandwidth for a transmission over at least one of the first link and/or the second link.
