Apparatus and method for processing bandwidth request in multihop relay broadband wireless access (BWA) communication system다중 홉 릴레이 방식을 사용하는 광대역 무선접속통신시스템에서 대역폭 요청을 처리하기 위한 장치 및 방법
Apparatuses and methods for processing a bandwidth request in a multihop relay Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system are provided. A communication method of a Relay Station (RS) includes determining a number of bandwidth request ranging codes received from Subscriber Stations (SSs); and reporting the number of the bandwidth request ranging codes to a Base Station (BS). A communication method of the BS includes allocating a resource to an RS to report on a number of detected bandwidth request ranging codes; and receiving a report on the number of the bandwidth request ranging codes using the allocated resource.
