Embodiments provide methods, computer programs and apparatuses 10, 30 for a base station transceiver 100 and a relay station transceiver 300 in a mobile communication network 400, which comprises the base station transceiver 100, a mobile transceiver 200 being associated with the base station transceiver 100 and a relay transceiver 300 being associated with the base station transceiver 100. The base station transceiver apparatus 10 comprises a receiver 12 for receiving information on a handover request from the mobile transceiver 200, the information on the handover request indicating that the mobile transceiver 200 is in a situation in which a reception quality of the signals of the relay transceiver 300 would allow a re-association of the mobile transceiver 200 to the relay transceiver 300. The base station transceiver apparatus 10 further comprises a scheduler 14 for scheduling, subsequent to the reception of the handover request, the mobile transceiver 200 for transmission from the base station transceiver 100 to the mobile transceiver 200 on a radio resource on which transmission of the relay transceiver 300 is suspended. The apparatus 30 for the relay transceiver comprises a reception unit 32 for receiving information on a resource assignment from the base station transceiver 100 and a scheduling unit 34 for scheduling the mobile transceiver 220 for transmission or reception on a radio resource which is indicated in the information on the resource assignment.
