Techniques for relaying a broadcast transmission in a wireless network are described. In one design, a relay may receive at least one transmission of a packet from a transmitter (e.g., a broadcast station) and may process the at least one transmission to decode the packet. The relay may generate at least one remaining transmission of the packet after correctly decoding the packet. The transmitter may broadcast multiple transmissions of the packet to receivers. The at least one transmission may be at least one of the multiple transmissions, and the at least one remaining transmission may be remaining ones of the multiple transmissions. The relay may send the at least one remaining transmission of the packet at the same time and on the same resources used by the transmitter. The multiple transmissions may be HARQ transmissions containing different redundancy information for the packet.
