Abstract
A method and system for controlling bearer establishment in a wireless communication system in which a donor base station serves a relay over a first air interface and in which the relay is configured to serve UEs over a second air interface. An example method includes (i) detecting a flow of voice traffic on a relay-bearer communication path that extends between the relay and a gateway system via the donor base station, where the voice traffic is digitized voice data being communicated in a VoIP call of a UE served by the relay and (ii) responsive to at least the detecting of the flow of the voice traffic over the relay-bearer communication path, triggering dynamic establishment for the relay of a dedicated VoIP relay bearer that extends between the relay and the gateway system via the donor base station, for carrying the continued voice traffic of the UE's VoIP call.
