Abstract
A method of transmitting data via a wireless transmission path, that may include a user equipment as a first end point, a base station as a second end point, and at least one relay station as an intermediate point, includes receiving a data transmission from a prior point in the wireless transmission path, and, substantially concurrently, forwarding the received data to the next point in the transmission path, and determining whether the received data is corrupt. The method further includes transmitting a transmission message to the next point in the transmission path indicating whether the received data was corrupt. The method finally includes, when the data is not corrupt, transmitting a receipt message to the prior point indicating that the data was uncorrupt when received.
