Abstract

A cellular communication system includes a method for managing uplink (UL) quality-of-service (QoS) in a two-hop wireless cellular communication system, including determining a count of UL QoS requests received from each user equipment (UE) and determining a served-to-requested ratio that is a ratio of a the number of bytes of UL data served to each UE by a mobile relay to the number bytes of UL data requested by each UE from the mobile relay. A UE subsystem of the mobile relay determines if any UEs are experiencing low UL QoS based on the number of UL QoS requests and the served-to-requested ratio. In response, a macro base station allocates network resources for improving the UL QoS provided to the set of UEs.
