The invention relates to an apparatus () for managing full-duplex communication between a base station (BS) and a set of user equipments (), the base station (BS) comprising a plurality of transmitter antennas, the plurality of transmitter antennas being associated with a downlink communication channel H between the base station (BS) and the set of user equipments () and a plurality of interference channels Gbetween the base station (BS) and a plurality of neighboring base stations (BS).

Apparatus and a method for managing full-duplex communication between a base station and a plurality of user equipments

The disclosure relates to a network entity for selecting a communication relay from a plurality of communication relays within the service area of a base station covering a plurality of geographic positions, wherein each communication relay is able to retransmit a communication between the base station and a user equipment, wherein the network entity comprises a divider configured to divide the service area into a plurality of different regions based on an attenuation measure at each geographic position, a determiner configured to determine for each pair of regions a spatial isolation measure based on the attenuation measures at the geographic positions within the regions, and a selector configured to select a communication relay based on the spatial isolation measures associated with the geographic position of each communication relay.
