Abstract  Abstract

A system and a method for wireless linking in a cellular communication system are disclosed such that a mobile station is maintained in simultaneous communication with at least a first node and a second node for access to the cellular communication system. Information going to and from the first node is not identical to the information going to and from the second node. In one embodiment the second node or secondary access point is a relay node forwarding received information to and from the first node or primary access point. In another embodiment the second node is another mobile station performing a direct mobile-to-mobile communication (MS-to-­MS). In still an embodiment a first wireless link to the first node is for control information only. In still a further embodiment a second wireless link to the second node is only for communication of information from the mobile station or only for communication of information to the mobile station.

In one embodiment the second node or secondary access point is a relay node forwarding received information to and from the first node or primary access point. In another embodiment the second node is another mobile station performing a direct mobile-to-mobile communication (MS-to--MS). In still an embodiment a first wireless link to the first node is for control information only. In still a further embodiment a second wireless link to the second node is only for communication of information from the mobile station or only for communication of information to the mobile station.
