Methods and apparatus for communicating in a system including relay stations
Methods and apparatus relating to communicating in a system including relay stations are described. Various described methods and apparatus are directed to improved performance and/or mitigating interference in relay station boundary areas. Relay station transmission power is controlled based on at least one of time or frequency such that a transmission power level for a frequency is varied in a predetermined manner with time or such that different transmission power levels are used for different carrier frequencies. Different adjacent relay stations are intentionally configured to use different transmission power levels for the same carrier and/or have different time varying transmission power level profiles for the same carrier. A relay station performs access terminal scheduling based on access terminal location with respect to relay station boundary regions and transmission power level information.
