3 pairs of described methods of the embodiment of the invention are elaborated at first in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
As shown in Figure 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic flow sheet of the described method of the embodiment of the invention, specifically can comprise the steps:
Step 301:eNB selects to determine target back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the influencing factor of target back haul link sub-frame configuration;
ENB needs the back haul link sub-frame configuration of RN is switched according to judgements such as offered load, interference coordinations, promptly switches to target back haul link sub-frame configuration from current former back haul link sub-frame configuration;
Wherein, the switching of back haul link sub-frame configuration is meant and switches between the different back haul link sub-frame configuration under same TDD sub-frame configuration; The sub-frame configuration that back haul link used before former back haul link sub-frame configuration referred to switch, target back haul link sub-frame configuration refer to switch the sub-frame configuration that the back back haul link uses;

Step 303:RN switches to this target back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the target back haul link sub-frame configuration that eNB determines from the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using.
For the ease of understanding the embodiment of the invention, below will further specify eNB and how to select to determine suitable target back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the influencing factor of target back haul link sub-frame configuration with six concrete examples.
Example one: eNB determines the target back haul link sub-frame configuration of switching according to the descending/sub-frame of uplink ratio demand of target back haul link sub-frame configuration
With TDD UL/DL Config#1 is example, and the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using at back haul link of RN is Un UL/DL Sub-config#0, and Un DL/UL subframe ratio is 1: 1.ENB needs to switch the back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the offered load demand, and reaching Un DL/UL subframe ratio is 2: 1.Then Un DL/UL subframe ratio is that 2: 1 back haul link sub-frame configuration comprises UnUL/DL Sub-config#2, #3 among the TDDUL/DL Config#1.ENB selects wherein a kind of configuration arbitrarily, as Un UL/DL Sub-config#3, and the target back haul link sub-frame configuration that indication RN switches as the back haul link sub-frame configuration.
Further, for the descending/sub-frame of uplink ratio that satisfies target back haul link sub-frame configuration equally is 2: 1 two kinds configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#2, #3, eNB can be #8 according to sub-frame of uplink among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#0 further, and Un UL/DL Sub-config#2 and Un UL/DL Sub-config#0 adopt subframe #8 equally is Un UL subframe, therefore eNB selects UnUL/DL Sub-config#2 as target back haul link sub-frame configuration, help keeping the continuity of Un UL HARQ process, and by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
With TDD UL/DL Config#2 is example, and the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using at back haul link of RN is Un UL/DL Sub-config#5, and Un DL/UL subframe ratio is 3: 1.ENB needs to switch the back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the offered load demand, and reaching Un DL/UL subframe ratio is 2: 1.Then Un DL/UL subframe ratio is that 2: 1 back haul link sub-frame configuration comprises UnUL/DL Sub-config#2, #3 among the TDDUL/DL Config#2.Further, for these two kinds of configurations, eNB can be further number is #3 according to descending sub frame among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#5, #8, #9, and UnUL/DL Sub-config#3 and Un UL/DL Sub-config#5 adopt subframe #3 equally, #9 is a Un DL subframe, therefore eNB selects Un UL/DL Sub-config#3 as target back haul link sub-frame configuration, making in target back haul link sub-frame configuration and the former back haul link sub-frame configuration has part Un DL subframe identical, and by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
Example two: eNB is according to sub-frame of uplink number definite target back haul link sub-frame configuration of switching of former back haul link sub-frame configuration.
With TDD UL/DL Config#2 is example, and the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using at back haul link of RN is Un UL/DL Sub-config#4, and Un UL subframe is subframe #2, and Un DL subframe is subframe #3, #4, #8.ENB needs to switch the back haul link sub-frame configuration according to network load condition, reduces Un DL sub-frame number.Then the configuration that Un DL sub-frame number is less than 3 subframes among the TDD UL/DL Config#2 comprises Un UL/DL Sub-config#0, #1, #2, #3.ENB can number be #2 according to sub-frame of uplink among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DLSub-config#4, and Un UL/DL Sub-config#0, it is Un UL subframe that #2 and Un UL/DLSub-config#4 adopt subframe #2 equally, therefore selection is a kind of as target back haul link sub-frame configuration arbitrarily in Un UL/DL Sub-config#0 and #2 for eNB, by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
Further, network has demand to the descending HARQ process number that switches in the target back haul link sub-frame configuration of back, and requiring DL HARQ process number is 1.And among Un UL/DL Sub-config#0 and the #2, it is 1 that Un UL/DLSub-config#0 satisfies DL HARQ process number, and eNB selection Un UL/DL Sub-config#0 is as target back haul link sub-frame configuration, by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
Example three: eNB is according to descending sub frame number definite target back haul link sub-frame configuration of switching of former back haul link sub-frame configuration.
With TDD UL/DL Config#2 is example, and the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using at back haul link of RN is Un UL/DL Sub-config#5, and Un UL subframe is subframe #7, and Un DL subframe is subframe #3, #8, #9.ENB needs to switch the back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the network interferences situation, avoids using subframe #7 to be Un UL subframe.Then do not use subframe #7 to comprise Un UL/DL Sub-config#0, #2, #4 among the TDD UL/DL Config#2 as the configuration of Un UL subframe.ENB can number be #3 according to descending sub frame among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#5, #8, #9, and Un UL/DL Sub-config#2, #4 has used subframe #4 to be Un DL subframe, different with Un UL/DL Sub-config#5, only Un UL/DLSub-config#0 employing subframe #8 is a Un DL subframe, and is identical with Un UL/DL Sub-config#5.Therefore eNB selects Un UL/DL Sub-config#0 as target back haul link sub-frame configuration, by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
Example four: eNB determines the target back haul link sub-frame configuration of switching according to the uplink and downlink subframe numbers of former back haul link sub-frame configuration
With TDD UL/DL Config#4 is example, and the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using at back haul link of RN is Un UL/DL Sub-config#2.ENB is according to offered load and disturbed condition, needs to switch the back haul link sub-frame configuration, makes target back haul link sub-frame configuration comprise all subframes in the former back haul link sub-frame configuration.The back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#3 of TDD UL/DL Config#4, #4 satisfies this demand, then eNB selects wherein a kind of configuration arbitrarily, as Un UL/DL Sub-config#4, and the target back haul link sub-frame configuration that indication RN switches as the back haul link sub-frame configuration.
Example five: eNB counts the target back haul link sub-frame configuration that demand is determined switching according to the descending HARQ process of target back haul link sub-frame configuration
With TDD UL/DL Config#2 is example, and the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using at back haul link of RN is Un UL/DL Sub-config#3.ENB needs to switch the back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the offered load demand, and reaching the descending HARQ process of Un number is 3.Then satisfy the descending HARQ process of Un number among the TDD UL/DL Config#2 and be 3 back haul link sub-frame configuration and comprise Un UL/DL Sub-config#4, #5.ENB selects wherein a kind of configuration arbitrarily, as Un UL/DL Sub-config#4, and the target back haul link sub-frame configuration that indication RN switches as the back haul link sub-frame configuration.
Further, for satisfying the descending HARQ process of Un number equally is 3 two kinds configuration Un UL/DLSub-config#4, #5, eNB can be further number is #7 according to sub-frame of uplink among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#3, and Un UL/DL Sub-config#5 and Un UL/DL Sub-config#3 adopt subframe #7 equally is Un UL subframe, help keeping the continuity of Un UL HARQ process, therefore eNB selects Un UL/DL Sub-config#5 as target back haul link sub-frame configuration, by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
Perhaps, further, eNB can number be #3 according to descending sub frame among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#3, #9, and Un UL/DL Sub-config#5 adopts subframe #3, #8, #9 is the UnDL subframe, and is identical with Un UL/DL Sub-config#3 part.Therefore eNB selects Un UL/DLSub-config#5 as target back haul link sub-frame configuration, by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
Example six: eNB counts the target back haul link sub-frame configuration that demand is determined switching according to the ascending HARQ course of target back haul link sub-frame configuration
With TDD UL/DL Config#1 is example, and the current former back haul link sub-frame configuration of using at back haul link of RN is Un UL/DL Sub-config#4.ENB needs to switch the back haul link sub-frame configuration according to the offered load demand, and reaching Un ascending HARQ course number is 1.Then satisfy Un ascending HARQ course number among the TDD UL/DL Config#1 and be 1 back haul link sub-frame configuration and comprise Un UL/DL Sub-config#0, #1, #2, #3.ENB selects wherein a kind of configuration arbitrarily, as Un UL/DL Sub-config#2, and the target back haul link sub-frame configuration that indication RN switches as the back haul link sub-frame configuration.
Further, for satisfying Un ascending HARQ course number equally is 1 multiple back haul link sub-frame configuration, eNB can be further number is #3 and #8 according to sub-frame of uplink among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#4, and the network side demand is switched back use subframe #3 as Un UL subframe, it is Un UL subframe that Un UL/DLSub-config#1 and #3 and Un UL/DL Sub-config#3 adopt subframe #3 equally, therefore selection is a kind of as target back haul link sub-frame configuration arbitrarily in Un UL/DL Sub-config#1 and #3 for eNB, by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
Perhaps, further, for satisfying Un ascending HARQ course number equally is 1 multiple back haul link sub-frame configuration, eNB can be further number is #4 and #9 according to descending sub frame among the former back haul link sub-frame configuration Un UL/DL Sub-config#4, and the network side demand is switched back use subframe #9 as Un DL subframe, Un UL/DL Sub-config#1, #2, it is Un UL subframe that #3 and Un UL/DL Sub-config#3 adopt subframe #9 equally, therefore eNB is at Un UL/DL Sub-config#1, #2, selection is a kind of as target back haul link sub-frame configuration arbitrarily among the #3, by high-level signaling configuration indication RN.
