SPECTRUM ACCESS RESTRICTION AND RE-ROUTING OF DATA

Abstract:

A method includes receiving (3006) at least one report signal (813) from at least one relay node (103, 104, 400), the at least one report signal (813) being associated with a plurality of communication links (111-115) formed by a first node (101, 400), a second node (102, 400), and the at least one relay node (103, 104, 400). The method also includes determining (3007) a multi-hop transmission path (192) for communication between the first node (101, 400) and the second node (102, 400) using communication links (111, 112) selected from the plurality of communication links (111-115), based on the at least one report signal (813) and a spectrum access restriction of a spectrum access of the first node (101, 400).
