1. A method for scheduling resources for relay nodes in a wireless network, the method comprising:
identifying a relay node attached to an access node in the wireless network;
determining a transmit power associated with the relay node;
scheduling resources for the relay node based on the transmit power satisfying a threshold transmit power level; and
increasing the scheduled resources for the relay node based on the transmit power satisfying the threshold transmit power level.
