Aspects relate to joint relaying of a transport block. For example, a first relay (e.g., a first user equipment) and a second relay (e.g., a second user equipment) may each relay at least a portion of the transport block during different resource elements of the same slot. In some examples, the second relay continues encoding the transport block at the point where the first relay completes its encoding. In some examples, the first relay and the second relay independently encode transport block data. In some examples, the first relay and the second relay are each allocated complete symbols within the slot.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for utilizing a CIC value field in signaling information of a communication to provide an identification of the ingress network to an egress or receiving network of a long distance telecommunications network. The system and method provides for the provisioning of a signaling CIC for an ingress trunkgroup or network to a telecommunications network for downstream signaling purposes by overriding a received CIC value with a provisioned CIC value specific to the ingress network. This provisioned CIC value identifies the ingress network to the long distance network to the egress network for use by the egress network.

A wireless transmitter/receiver generates a first signal which notifies timing of a time slot allocated to each wireless station device, a conversion unit converts the first signal into an optical signal, and each of a plurality of antenna units converts the first signal from the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal wirelessly. The wireless station device transmits a second signal at the timing reported by the first signal. Each of the plurality of antenna units converts the second signal wirelessly received from each wireless station device into an optical signal, and the conversion unit converts the second signal from the optical signal into an electrical signal. The wireless transmitter/receiver calculates, for each wireless station device, a transmission delay by using a difference between a reception time of the second signal and a reception time of a signal transmitted at the allocated timing by the wireless station device when it is assumed that there is no transmission delay. The wireless transmitter/receiver determines guard time between the time slots allocated to the wireless station devices based on the transmission delays of the wireless station devices.

A method, cellular communications network, and a network node are disclosed. The cellular communications network comprises a first base station and a second base station.
