Abstract

Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate techniques for design of relay backhaul to support mobility of relay nodes in a wireless communication system. According to various aspects herein, techniques are provided to enable and support the use of mobile relays and to facilitate handover of mobile relays between respective donor cells. More particularly, techniques are provided herein for relay backhaul control channel assignment associated with hand in or hand out of mobile relays, access/backhaul resource partitioning for mobile relays, and management of quality of service (QoS) requirements associated with a relay handover.
