Abstract
In a system for allocating resources of a wireless communication system power levels of downlink (DL) communication channels and coupling losses of uplink (UL) communication channels are determined. When the power level of the DL communication channel between a base station and a UA is greater than the power levels of the DL communication channels between each of a plurality of RNs and the UA, and the coupling losses of the UL communication channel between at least one of the RNs and the UA are less than the coupling losses of the UL communication channel between the base station and the UA, a DL communication channel resource on the base station to the UA, and a UL communication channel resource on the at least one of the plurality of RNs to the UA are allocated.
