Abstract
Embodiments provide methods, computer programs and apparatusesfor a base station transceiverand a relay station transceiverin a mobile communication network, which comprises the base station transceiver, a mobile transceiverbeing associated with the base station transceiverand a relay transceiverbeing associated with the base station transceiver. The base station transceiver apparatus comprises a receiverfor receiving information on a handover request from the mobile transceiver, the information on the handover request indicating that the mobile transceiveris in a situation in which a reception quality of the signals of the relay transceiverwould allow a re-association of the mobile transceiverto the relay transceiver. The base station transceiver apparatusfurther comprises a schedulerfor scheduling, subsequent to the reception of the handover request, the mobile transceiverfor transmission from the base station transceiverto the mobile transceiveron a radio resource on which transmission of the relay transceiveris suspended. The apparatusfor the relay transceiver comprises a reception unitfor receiving information on a resource assignment from the base station transceiverand a scheduling unitfor scheduling the mobile transceiverfor transmission or reception on a radio resource which is indicated in the information on the resource assignment.
