1. A method, comprising:
receiving at least one report signal from at least one relay node, the at least one report signal being associated with a plurality of communication links formed by a first node, a second node, and the at least one relay node,
based on the at least one report signal and a spectrum access restriction of a spectrum access of the first node: determining a multi-hop transmission path for communication between the first node and the second node using communication links selected from the plurality of communication links, and
upon determining the multi-hop transmission path: transmitting, to at least one selected relay node of the at least one relay node, a configuration signal indicative of a request for relaying data along the multi-hop transmission path.
