For a relay physical downlink control channel (r-pdcch) interleaving

Certain aspects of the present invention provides a method and apparatus for the control information for one or more nodes interleaved. For certain aspects, the control information may include one or more relay nodes of one or more relay physical downlink control channel (R-PDCCH). The interleaving comprises CRS and / or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource elements interleaving common reference signal (CRS) of the R-PDCCH, which can be ignored for a physical resource block (PRB) of ( RE).
