Abstract
A method dynamically changes a relay zone offset in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system includes a base station, at least one relay station, and at least one mobile station. Each relay station is located a hop distance from the base station. A notification of a change in relay zone offset is transmitted to a relay station. Implementation of the change in relay zone offset is delayed for a predetermined amount of frames. Relay zone information is transmitted using the changed relay zone offset.
