Abstract
The present invention provides signaling protocols that enable an integrated cellular relaying system to support a call for a wireless terminal. In embodiments of the invention, the wireless terminal is redirected to a relaying path corresponding to at least one relaying station. A relaying station communicates with the wireless terminal and with other relaying stations. In addition, one of the relaying stations (that is configured in the relaying path) completes the relaying path by communicating with a base transceiver station.
