H04B 7/15
H04W 36/32
H04W 36/08

Abstract:

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication that over come problems associated with conventional approaches including load balancing and handover efficiency issues. For example, in one aspect a wireless communication technique takes into account the load of a relay before a UE is switched from one relay to another. In another example, a wireless communication technique ensures that UEs are handed over to relays that will be able to serve the UE as the mobile relay continues to follow its expected path (such as streets or tracks), which may be known or determined.

H04W 40/22
H04W 72/08
H04W 76/02

Abstract:

A UE may move out of range of a network. Accordingly, the UE may use a relay node to communicate. To manage the relay node, a wireless device such as the UE may receive a relay search message from a second UE requesting a relay UE to establish a connection to the network through the relay UE. The UE may transmit a message to a base station informing the base station of the relay search message from the second UE. The UE may receive an initiate relay association procedure message from the base station, the initiate relay association procedure message informing the first UE that the first UE has been selected by the base station to initiate a relay association procedure with the second UE. The UE may transmit a relay association message to the second UE including a request to be the relay UE for the second UE.
