17 Claims

1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured to: send a request to a core network, wherein the request informs the core network that the WTRU is capable of aggregating data and relaying data from other WTRUs;

receive one or more aggregation policies from the core network, wherein the one or more aggregation policies comprise one or more parameters that instruct how the WTRU is to aggregate and relay data and wherein the one or more aggregation policies comprise at least a parameter indicative of a delay tolerant data period;

set an amount of time to wait for data from the other WTRUs based on the delay tolerant data period; receive data from the other WTRUs during the amount of time that was set based on the delay tolerant data period; aggregate the data from the other WTRUs based on the parameters, wherein the aggregation policies comprise a traffic group ID parameter that indicates a group of WTRUs whose data can be aggregated together and relayed to the core network; and send the aggregated data to the core network.
