Abstract
According to some embodiments, a method in a first wireless device of relaying data from a second wireless device to a wireless communication network comprises: obtaining data transmission pattern information associated with data to be relayed from the second wireless device to the wireless communication network; requesting resources from the wireless communication network according to the data transmission pattern information; receiving an indication of resources from the wireless communication network; receiving the data from the second wireless device; and transmitting the data to the wireless communication network using the indicated resources. In particular embodiments, obtaining the data transmission pattern information comprises receiving the data transmission pattern information from the second wireless device; determining the data transmission pattern based on a service type or protocol associated with the data to be relayed; or determining the data transmission pattern based on a LTE version supported by the second wireless device.
