Abstract:
Resource allocation for data transmission. A method includes: detecting a need for a transmission of data from a first user apparatus via a first base station to a second user apparatus via a second base station. In response to detecting the need, requesting backhaul resources for a transmission from the first base station to the second base station. After requesting the backhaul resources, controlling reception of the data from the first user apparatus, and triggering a transmission of the data using the backhaul resources to the second base station for a transmission of the data to the second user apparatus.
