Abstract
Techniques for selecting and processing signals from different stations in a wireless network are described. A destination station may receive a direct signal from a source station and at least one relay signal from at least one relay station. The destination station may determine metrics for the source and relay stations, e.g., based on pilots received from these stations. The destination station may select at least one signal to process from among the direct and relay signals based on the metrics for the source and relay stations. The destination station may select the direct signal if the metric for the source station exceeds a threshold. The destination station may select the relay signal from each relay station having a metric exceeding at least one threshold. The destination station may process the at least one selected signal to recover a transmission sent by the source station to the destination station.
