Communications sourced by a remote unit (14) that is already within reception range of a base site (10) can nevertheless be further facilitated through allocation of one or more relay resources (15, 16). Such relay resources, properly employed, then serve to effectively increase the quality of service for the facilitated communication. This, in turn, can permit the use of, for example, increased data rates for communications from a relatively low power remote unit.

We claim: 1. A method for a relay device to relay information within a communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a message indicating subscriber stations to monitor; receiving an assignment message indicating a relay-to-base resource, wherein the assignment message indicates a modulation and coding rate to utilize when relaying communications; receiving transmissions from the subscriber stations; demodulating and decoding the subscriber stations' transmissions; re-modulating and re-encoding the subscriber stations' transmissions; and relaying the re-modulated and re-encoded transmissions over the relay-to-base resource, wherein the transmissions are relayed in a predetermined order.
