Abstract

A data communication network to provide network access data sets for User Equipment (UE) selection of a wireless relay. The wireless relays transfer relay status data to a network control system. The network control system processes the relay status data to generate network access data sets for the wireless relays and transfers the individual network access data sets for delivery to the wireless relays. The wireless relays receive their individual network access data sets and wirelessly broadcast relay Long Term Evolution (LTE) System Information Blocks (SIBs) indicating their individual network access data sets. The wireless relays receive wireless UE attachments responsive to the relay LTE SIB broadcasts of the individual network access data sets.
