APPARATUSES, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR A BACKHAUL MODEM AND AN ACCESS BASE STATION TRANSCEIVER OF A RELAY STATION TRANSCEIVER

摘要

Embodiments provide apparatuses, methods and computer programs for a backhaul modem and an access base station transceiver of a relay station transceiver. A relay station transceiver (300) comprises a backhaul modem (100) for communicating with one or more backhaul base station transceivers (500) of a mobile communication system (600), and the relay station transceiver (300) comprises an access base station transceiver (200) for generating at least one cell of the mobile communication system (600) for communicating with one or more mobile transceivers (400). An apparatus (10) for the backhaul modem (100) comprises a transceiver module (12) to communicate with the one or more backhaul base station transceivers (500) of the mobile communication system (600) using a first set of radio resources, and an interface (14) to communicate with the access base station transceiver (200). The backhaul modem apparatus (10) further comprises a control module (16) to control the transceiver module (12) and the interface (14), and to monitor the first set of radio resources used to communicate with the one or more backhaul base station transceivers (500) of the mobile communication system (600) using the transceiver module (12). The control module (16) is configured to communicate information related to a second set of radio resources with the access base station transceiver (200) using the interface (14). The second set of radio resources being different from the first set of radio resources. An apparatus (20) for an access base station transceiver (200) comprises a transceiver module (22) to communicate with the one or more mobile transceivers (400) using a second set of radio resources, and an interface (24) to communicate with the backhaul modem (100). The access base station transceiver apparatus (20) further comprises a control module (26) to control the transceiver module (26) and the interface (24), to communicate information related to the second set of radio resources with the backhaul modem (100), and to assign radio resources from the second set of radio resources to the transceiver module (22) to communicate with the one or more mobile transceivers (400).
