Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014179722A1] Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for a station to determine a link quality. A station (STA) may determine the quality of a path that includes a relay node by determining a link quality associated with each link in the path. The STA may receive a transmission indicating that a transmitting entity is a relay node. The transmission may indicate a first link quality associated with a link between the relay node and a root access point (AP). The STA may determine a second link quality associated with a link between the (STA) and the relay node, e.g., the STA may estimate the second link quality. The STA may determine a total link quality associated with a combined link from the STA to the relay node to the root AP. The STA may select an entity to associate with based on the total link quality.
