Embodiment
In LTE or its upgrade-system (LTE-Advanced), trunking (or claims via node (Relay Node, RN)) be used between base station and subscriber equipment, transmitting data, owing to increased via node, therefore need in the multi-hop cellular mobile communication networks system that forms, provide corresponding frame structure configuration, to realize the transfer of data in the multi-hop cellular mobile communication networks system.
Has in the future frame structure, as shown in Figure 1 based on the LTE system of via node.Have following time slot zone in each radio half frame structure:
The descending zone of inserting: evolution base station (eNB) and trunking send data to Macro UE (eNB is the subscriber equipment of service directly) and Relay UE (trunking is the subscriber equipment of service directly) respectively.
Down mixing zone: eNB sends data to trunking and Macro UE.
Up access zone: Macro UE and Relay UE send data to eNB and trunking respectively.
Up Mixed Zone: Macro UE and trunking send data to eNB.
Special time slot: the same with LTE tdd frame structure, form by DwPTS, GP and UpPTS.
In addition, the TX among Fig. 1 represents sending mode, and RX represents receiving mode.
In the down mixing zone, promptly eNB is when trunking sends data, and the frame structure of Relay is configured to multimedia broadcasting single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, referring to the shadow region among Fig. 1.Between Relay and eNB, be backhaul feedback (backhaul) descending sub frame with the MBSFN subframe definition, between Relay and UE, be defined as the MBSFN subframe.
