1. A method comprising:
at a resource allocation system, receiving, from a Donor wireless base station device, a registration request, the registration request including capabilities information about a Relay Node with which the Donor wireless base station device communicates;
in response to the registration request, sending, from the resource allocation system to the Donor wireless base station device, a registration response indicating successful registration of the Relay Node;
in response to the registration response, receiving via the Donor wireless base station device a spectrum enquiry message from the Relay Node seeking a channel allocation from the resource allocation system; and
in response to the spectrum enquiry message, sending from the resource allocation system, and via the Donor wireless base station device, a resource grant response to the Relay Node, wherein the resource grant response includes an allocated channel.
