Abstract
The present disclosure concerns the harnessing of the effect of a relay to enhance the ability to avoid the effect of interference at mobile stations. This is achieved either by overlaying beamforming for an indirectly reached mobile station so that a relay passes on this beamforming to the mobile station concerned, and retaining orthogonality therewith, or by harnessing a base station and a relay station together so that their combined effect is to provide spatial multiplexing to two or more mobile stations.
