METHOD FOR PERFORMING A RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURE BY A RELAY NODE IN A WIRELESS OR RADIO COMMUNICATION NETWORK, CORRESPONDING RELAY NODE AND BASE STATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for performing a random access procedure by a relay node operating in inband relaying mode in a wireless or radio communication network, comprising at least one base station adapted to communicate over a backhaul link with at least one relay node, said relay node being adapted to communicate over an access link with at least one user equipment, According to the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: —Configuring resources for said back-haul link and for said access link to be time-multiplexed at said relay node, —Sending messages of said random access procedure on resources configured for said backhaul link.
