Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are described for cooperation of two or more devices to improve the transmissions over a Uu interface. A source receives or transmits an indicator indicating a first mode of two modes of cooperation between the source apparatus and at least a first cooperating device. The two modes of cooperation includes a joint communication mode and a relay mode of cooperation. If the first mode is the joint communication mode, at least a portion of the data, intended for the intended recipient, is transmitted to at least the first cooperating device to be further transmitted by the first cooperating device to the intended recipient. A same or different portion of the data is transmitted to the intended recipient or to a second cooperating device to be further transmitted by the second cooperating device to the intended recipient.
