Methods and apparatus are described for enabling downlink transparent relay in a wireless
communication network. In a wireless communications network, a base station and a mobile
station may communicate with each other via a relay station, as needed. Transparent relay
may allow for relay communication between a base station and a mobile station although
the mobile station is unaware of the relay station. However, non-contiguous transmission of
a relay station may lead to channel quality measurement and channel estimation …
