Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés pour déterminer un accès. Un second nœud de communication sans fil (par exemple, un relais intelligent (SR)) détermine des informations relatives à l'accès selon un premier message reçu en provenance d'un premier nœud de communication sans fil (par exemple, une station de base (BS)) ou selon une règle. Le second nœud de communication sans fil peut déterminer un troisième nœud de communication sans fil pour accéder selon les informations relatives à l'accès. Le deuxième nœud de communication sans fil peut accéder au troisième nœud de communication sans fil, le cas échéant. Le deuxième nœud de communication sans fil peut être un type de nœuds de communication sans fil intermédiaires entre le premier nœud de communication sans fil et un quatrième nœud de communication sans fil.
