Abstract
Techniques for energy efficiency utilizing the relay transmission mode of multiple device coordination (MDC) in a wireless communication system are described. For example, a method includes identifying, by a coordinating device including a processor, one or more devices associated with a same entity as the coordinating device, wherein the coordinating device and the one or more devices are part of a set of devices. The method also includes coordinating, by the coordinating device, with the one or more devices to enable a single radio resource connection (RRC) between the set of devices and a base station. The coordinating can include selecting a relay node device, from among the set of devices, to relay data transmitted from the set of devices during a relay transmission mode. The data is relayed to the base station using the single RRC, which is established through the relay node device.
