In the above-mentioned flow process, replace execution in step 501 and step 502, also can first execution in step 502.
Specifically, above-mentioned flow process can be expressed as:
BS and RS by the terminal subframe respectively the MS in compass of competency separately send business datum;
BS sends relaying by relay sub-frame to RS and transmits data; RS receives from the relaying of other RS in BS and/or the multihop relay system by relay sub-frame and transmits data or send relaying forwarding data by relay sub-frame other RS in BS and/or multihop relay system;
BS and RS receive the business datum that sends from MS separately respectively by the terminal subframe;
BS receives from the relaying of RS by relay sub-frame and transmits data; RS sends business datum by relay sub-frame other RS in BS and/or multihop relay system, perhaps by the business datum of relay sub-frame reception from other RS in BS and/or the multihop relay system.
In the above-mentioned flow process, the reiving/transmitting state of the relay sub-frame of RS and its higher level's website and the RS of subordinate is interlaced.
In the process of RS connecting system, system need distribute running time-frequency resource for the new RS that inserts.
Distribute the basic principle of running time-frequency resource method to be in the embodiment of the present invention: for RS and BS, the reserved resource of domination is to one's name all arranged, promptly from primary resource, each RS and BS can oneself make a strategic decision, and will the part in primary resource distribute to the RS of subordinate, as the RS of subordinate from primary resource, so just can realize resource allocation step by step, the RS that progression is low more, more little from primary resource, BS's is maximum from primary resource.Distributing after primary resource, BS and RS also can initiate the resource of having distributed is adjusted.
In embodiment of the present invention, distribution be meant the time-frequency chance that is used for sending data from primary resource, comprise sending upstream data and downlink data.Each RS uses from primary resource in relay sub-frame and sends data, and inform the website of its higher level or subordinate's cascade by the relaying frame head, this website sends the running time-frequency resource position of data, the website of cascade can obtain the data that this website sends by this relaying frame head up and down, finds one's own data by analyzing the index information that comprises in the data.
In the process of RS connecting system, system also needs to distribute the relaying frame head for each RS.
Because RS need use the relaying frame head to indicate the position of its relay resource, and the quantity dynamically changeable of RS.Variation for flexible adaptation RS quantity, and make full use of system time frequency resource, embodiment of the present invention realizes the dynamic assignment of relaying frame head by the following method: the original position of fixing first relaying frame head, fix the size of each RS relaying frame head, guarantee that each relaying frame head resource of system assignment links to each other.In the relaying frame head, comprise that system has distributed the indication information of relaying frame head quantity, this information is sent at identical resource location with BS simultaneously by all RS, and any one RS all can know the resource location of the relaying frame head that all have distributed according to this information.That is to say, know the original position of first relaying frame head, know the size of each relaying frame head, know relaying frame head quantity altogether, just can know the position of all relaying frame heads.
For the HARQ data block, whether the transmit leg website needs correctly to be received according to coming definite relaying that has sent to transmit data from the relaying feedback of one or more recipient's website.If do not receive feedback in predefined frame period, being fed back to of perhaps receiving takes defeat, and then the transmit leg website can resend this relaying and transmit data; Whether recipient's website needs the accepting state of basis from the HARQ data block of one or more transmit leg websites, correctly received to transmit leg website feedback respective data blocks.

Below, the multi-hop relay method in the present embodiment is elaborated.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart of multi-hop relay method in the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 6, the multi-hop relay method of embodiment of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
Step 601, system are that the new RS that inserts distributes running time-frequency resource and relaying frame head.
Step 602, BS, RS1, RS2, RS3 by ADL to one's name the business datum of the MS in the compass of competency send to corresponding M S respectively, in each website compass of competency a plurality of MS can be arranged.
Step 603, BS transmits data by FRL/SRL with relaying and sends to RS1; RS1 receives from the relaying of BS and RS2 by FRL/SRL and transmits data; RS2 transmits data by FRL/SRL with relaying and sends to RS1 and/or RS3; RS3 receives from the relaying of RS2 by FRL/SRL and transmits data.
Step 604, BS, RS1, RS2, RS3 receive business datum from the MS in the compass of competency respectively by ADL.
Step 605, BS receives from the relaying of RS1 by SRL/FRL and transmits data; RS1 transmits data by SRL/FRL with relaying and sends to BS and/or RS2; RS2 receives from the relaying of RS1 and RS3 by SRL/FRL and transmits data; RS3 transmits data by SRL/FRL with relaying and sends to RS2.
Step 606, BS, RS1, RS2, RS3 judge need transmit data to relaying and feed back after, send the relaying feedback by FRL/SRL, SRL/FRL, FRL/SRL, SRL/FRL to the transmit leg of business datum respectively.
Wherein,, comprise the data block of the business datum of needs forwarding, be called relaying and transmit data block in the relay sub-frame transmission;
In this step, judge whether that need transmit data block to relaying feeds back, can transmit the indicating bit that whether comprises in the data block that this data block of indication needs recipient's website to feed back for judging relaying, if, for example relaying forwarding data block is data blocks such as HARQ or ARQ, then needs feedback; Each website can preestablish the frame period that sends the relaying feedback, and periodically by predetermined frame frame at interval, transmit leg to business datum sends the relaying feedback, if the transmit leg of business datum is not received the relaying feedback in predetermined frame frame at interval, then think the relaying of its transmission transmit data block not the side's of being received website correctly receive.
Step 607, BS, RS1, RS2, RS3 receive the relaying feedback of transmitting the Data Receiving website from relaying by SRL/FRL, FRL/SRL, SRL/FRL, FRL/SRL respectively.
In the above-mentioned flow process, step 602~step 605 can be carried out according to random order, for the website in the relay system carries out the process of multi-hop relay, the execution in step that can circulate 602~step 605 by the staggered relay sub-frame of terminal subframe and reiving/transmitting state; Relaying feedback procedure in step 606 and the step 607 also can be carried out with step 602~step 605 respectively simultaneously; If transmitting in the data block, relaying do not comprise the sign that expression need be fed back, then not execution in step 606 and step 607.
In the above-mentioned steps 601, system is that the new RS that inserts distributes running time-frequency resource and relaying frame head.
Wherein, distribute running time-frequency resource that following method can be arranged: resource allocation methods 1 is distribution method step by step; Resource allocation methods 2 is the unified distribution method.
Fig. 7 a is the schematic diagram of resource allocation methods 1 in the multi-hop relay method in the embodiment of the present invention.Shown in Fig. 7 a, the total resources of establishing FRL are F, and the total resources of SRL are S, remove the shared resource of relaying frame head of FRL/SRL, and the transmitting-receiving total resources of BS are A+B, and wherein A is the FRL resource, is the transmission resources of BS, and B is the SRL resource, are the reception resources of BS.As RS1, RS2, RS3 connecting system successively, and RS1 is cascaded under the BS, and RS2 is cascaded under the RS1, and RS3 is cascaded under the RS2, and the resource allocation step of system is as follows:
RS1 is connected to BS, BS is that the RS1 distribution is first jumping from primary resource: RS1, BS is the first all jumping RS Resources allocation, because the reiving/transmitting state of RS1 relay sub-frame and BS's is staggered, BS is the resource in its distribution SRL subframe, be that BS marks off a resource B1 in resource B, give RS1 as the autonomous resource allocation of RS1;
RS2 is connected to RS1, BS be RS2 to distribute the last two-stage website from primary resource: RS2 be BS, the reiving/transmitting state of RS2 relay sub-frame is identical with BS, BS marks off a resource A1 from oneself from primary resource A, as the autonomous resource allocation of RS2 to RS2;
RS3 is connected to RS2, RS1 be RS3 to distribute the last two-stage website from primary resource: RS3 be RS1, RS1 guarantee with the nonoverlapping prerequisite of B1 under, from oneself from primary resource B, mark off a resource B2, as the autonomous resource allocation of RS3 to RS3;
The rest may be inferred, and the RS of all new accesses can be assigned with one's own from primary resource.In a word, if RS is first jumping, then BS distributes from primary resource for it; If more than or equal to double bounce, then the website by the last double bounce of the RS of new access distributes from primary resource for it.
In the said method, if RS more than or equal to double bounce, also can jump or go up double bounce, again or go up double bounce with first-class multi-hop website at interval by last one, for the new RS that inserts distributes from primary resource.
Any one RS carries out the resource adjustment, must initiate relay resource adjustment request to distributing from the website of primary resource for it, has distributed the website from primary resource to send relay resource adjustment order to any one RS by its Resources allocation.
Fig. 7 b is the schematic diagram of resource allocation methods 2 in the multi-hop relay method in the embodiment of the present invention.Shown in Fig. 7 b, be the RS Resources allocation of all new accesses by BS, allocation criteria is identical with resource allocation methods 1.The resource allocation step of system is as follows:
RS1 is connected to BS, BS is that the RS1 distribution is first jumping from primary resource: RS1, BS is the first all jumping RS Resources allocation, because the reiving/transmitting state of RS1 relay sub-frame and BS's is staggered, BS is the resource in its distribution SRL subframe, be that BS marks off resource B1 in resource B, give RS1 as the autonomous resource allocation of RS1;
RS2 is connected to RS1, BS be RS2 to distribute the last two-stage website from primary resource: RS2 be BS, the reiving/transmitting state of RS2 relay sub-frame is identical with BS, BS marks off a resource A1 from oneself from primary resource A, as the autonomous resource allocation of RS2 to RS2;
RS3 is connected to RS2, and BS is that RS3 distributes from primary resource: BS and marks off a resource B2 from own from primary resource B1, as the autonomous resource allocation of RS3 to RS3;
The rest may be inferred, and the RS of all new accesses can be distributed one's own from primary resource by BS.
Any one RS carries out the resource adjustment, must initiate relay resource adjustment request to BS, and BS can send relay resource adjustment order to any one RS.
Below, during with the RS3 connecting system, RS1 is elaborated to resource allocation methods in the present embodiment 1 for the RS3 Resources allocation is an example.
Fig. 8 is the flow chart of resource allocation methods 1 in the multi-hop relay method in the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 8, the resource allocation methods in the multi-hop relay method may further comprise the steps in the embodiment of the present invention:
Step 801, behind the RS3 connecting system, RS1 is defined as the size of RS3 Resources allocation according to ability and the type of RS3.
In the present embodiment, before step 801, RS3 carries out the capability negotiation process with BS earlier, and BS informs RS1 with ability and the type of RS3 again.
Step 802, RS1 judges whether that enough resources satisfy the needs of RS3, enough from primary resource if RS1 has, then execution in step 803; If RS1's is not enough from primary resource, then execution in step 806.
RS can be known the autonomous resource size of self and carry out the size of the required relay resource of relay transmission that therefore, RS1 only need judge that the idling-resource and the magnitude relationship of application resource get final product in this step.
Step 803, RS1 from from primary resource for RS3 distributes from primary resource, send the resource allocation Indication message to RS3, this message comprises the size and the position of resource.
In this step, the resource size that RS1 marks off is determined according to ability and the type of RS3 by RS1 in step 801.
Step 804, RS1 starts timer, waits for RS3 feedback resource allocation acknowledge message.
Step 805, after RS3 received the resource allocation Indication message, with the resource of this message indication autonomous resource information as oneself, and to RS1 feedback resource allocation acknowledge message, whole resource allocation process so far completed successfully.
Step 806 to higher level's resource allocation website of RS1, sends resource and adjusts request message, request increase oneself from primary resource.
In this method, higher level's resource allocation website of RS1 is BS; To the size of higher level's site requests resource is the difference of self idling-resource and subordinate's site requests resource, or the value that calculates by preordering method for self idling-resource and subordinate's site requests resource.
Step 807, whether RS1 judges to the adjustment of higher level's requested resource successful, if success, then execution in step 803; If the access of RS3 is then refused in failure, and process ends.
Step 808~step 809, RS1 does not receive the affirmation message and the timer expiry of RS3 feedback, prepares to resend the resource allocation Indication message, and judges number of retries, if number of retries does not surpass stipulated number, then execution in step 810; If number of retries is then carried out error handling processing to surpass stipulated number, and process ends.
Before this step, set in advance waiting timer, for being provided with, retryCounter sends the number of retries that the resource allocation Indication message is allowed; In this step, if after sending resource allocation indication failure, retryCounter subtracts 1, when the count results of retryCounter is kept to 0, then judges number of retries and surpasses stipulated number; Error handling processing in this step is meant, when repeatedly not receiving the signal of this RS, can enter and judge whether this RS disconnects the flow process of connection, or think that directly this RS has disconnected connection, and the active disconnection is connected with this RS's, and discharges the resource that it takies.
Step 810 sends the resource allocation Indication message to RS3 again, and retryCounter subtracts 1, the timer zero clearing, and returns step 804.
In the above-mentioned flow process, when the RS3 connecting system, relevant resource allocation message comprises the resource allocation Indication message, and the resource allocation acknowledge message can be before RS3 formally starts relay function, when promptly being considered as MS by higher level's website, by transmitting in the terminal subframe; Also can after being considered as RS by its higher level's website, RS3 in relay sub-frame, transmit; Information interaction between RS1 and the RS3 is to transmit by the relaying of RS2 to realize.
When adopting resource allocation methods 2 to carry out resource allocation, according to the operating process that above-mentioned RS1 carried out, can pass through the distribution that resource allocation methods 2 is realized from primary resource by BS.
After resource allocation, RS and BS all can initiate the resource adjustment, comprise following two kinds of situations:
A kind of situation is initiatively to adjust, and subordinate's website is initiated resource adjustment request to higher level's website, and may be that the resource of subordinate's website is not enough this moment, need to increase the part resource, or the resource of subordinate's website is too many, wishes the release portion resource, initiates resource adjustment request by subordinate's website to higher level's website;
Another kind of situation is passive adjustment, higher level's website is initiated resource adjustment order to subordinate's website, triggered by the adjustment of higher level's site resource this moment, also may be that higher level's website carries out the resource adjustment, with the more efficient use resource, as for avoiding resource fragmentation, or, adjust resource ratio etc. according to the load of its subordinate's website.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart of resource adjusting method in the multi-hop relay method in the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 9, initiate resource with RS3 to RS 1 and be adjusted into example, the resource adjusting method in the multi-hop relay method of embodiment of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
Step 901, RS3 sends resource adjustment request to RS1, and starts timer, waits for that the resource of RS1 is adjusted response message.
Before this step, whether RS3 at first judges oneself needs to carry out the resource adjustment, if needed, then sends resource adjustment request to RS1.
Step 902 after RS1 receives the resource adjustment request of RS3, judges it is to discharge resource or application resource earlier, if discharge resource, then execution in step 903; If the application resource, then execution in step 904.
Step 903 is selected adequate resources piece position and size according to the size of RS3 request release resource, adjusts response message by resource and informs RS3, and the resource size that resource size that reality discharges and RS3 request discharge can not wait.
After this step, if after RS3 receives that the resource of RS1 is adjusted response message, adjust acknowledge message to the RS1 feedback resources, then the resource dispose procedure completes successfully, and process ends.
Step 904, RS1 is according to RS3 requested resource size, and whether judge oneself has enough from primary resource, if can satisfy the needs of RS3, then execution in step 905; If can not satisfy, then execution in step 907.
Step 905, RS1 distributes from primary resource for RS3 from primary resource from oneself.
Step 906, RS1 sends resource to RS3 and adjusts response message, and starts timer, waits for the affirmation message of RS3.
In this step, RS1 is transmitted by the RS2 relaying to the resource adjustment indication that RS3 sends; Before this step, set in advance waiting timer, and send the number of retries that the resource allocation Indication message is allowed for retryCounter is provided with.
After RS3 receives that the resource of RS1 is adjusted response message, can adjust acknowledge message to the RS1 feedback resources, resource adjustment so far completes successfully, and process ends.
Step 907, RS1 sends resource adjustment request message to the higher level's resource allocation website of oneself, and indicates the resource size that needs application in resource request message, and the reason of application resource, for example the higher level's resource allocation website to RS1 indicates, and the former resource because of RS3 of application is not enough.
In this step, if this higher level's resource allocation website is not BS, and does not have enough resources, then this website continues to send resource adjustment request message to its higher level's resource allocation website, adjust request message until resource and arrive BS, or be requested website enough resources are arranged.
Step 908, RS1 judges according to the resource adjustment response from higher level's website whether the resource adjustment is successful, if success, then execution in step 905, if failure, then execution in step 909.

Step 1901, RS2 receives from the uplink relay of RS3 by FRL and transmits data.
Step 1902~step 1904, RS2 finds RS3 according to the relaying frame head, and this sends the resource location of data, and finds MAP message body of corresponding resource, again according to MAP message body, obtains sending to the data of oneself.
Step 1905, RS2 obtains MAP PDU after the data that obtain are carried out demodulating and decoding.
For uplink, the final goal address of this MAC PDU is BS, is RS if work as the website of this MAC PDU of pre-treatment, then searches data route mapping table and finds the destination address of transmitting next time, and transmit this PDU in relay sub-frame, until sending to BS; If, then will send to network side after this data processing when the website of this MAC PDU of pre-treatment is BS.
Under some special situation, uplink can be searched this data route mapping table.For example to tree-shaped topological structure, a RS has only higher level's services sites, so any one RS only needs that the uplink relay data are sent to its higher level's services sites and gets final product.But a RS there are a plurality of possible services sites, or higher level's services sites situation that can change, the destination address that data route mapping table determines that transmit next time still need be searched.Different with the data route mapping table in the downlink transfer, the data route mapping table of uplink has shown the route annexation of current website to BS.
Step 1906~step 1907 judges whether oneself is BS, if, then will be dealt into network side after the data processing, if not, then search the data route mapping table of storage inside, obtain transmitting next time destination address, for example RS1, and execution in step 1908.
Step 1908~step 1910, RS2 generates the relaying comprise PDU and transmits data block, MAP message body, repeater frame header, sends to after the RS1 process ends then by relay sub-frame.
In the above-mentioned flow process, it is uplink business data that relaying is transmitted data, the final goal address of its MAC PDU is BS, if when the website of this MAC PDU of pre-treatment is RS, then find the destination address of transmitting next time according to default corresponding relation, and send by relay sub-frame, or directly send to higher level's website by relay sub-frame, until with this data forwarding to BS; If, then will send to network side after this data processing when the website of this MAC PDU of pre-treatment is BS.
For the RS of new connecting system, each website in the multihop relay system can also carry out the transmission of relay data after having carried out aforesaid resource allocation, the distribution of relaying frame head, promptly presses flow process transmission trunking forwarding data block as mentioned above; Some relaying is transmitted data block, need recipient's website whether correctly to receive relaying and transmit data block to transmit leg website feedback, as the HARQ data block, the relaying that this class needs recipient's website to feed back is transmitted data block, receiving status information is carried in the feedback message, unify feedback to transmitting data block from the relaying of different websites, when avoiding a plurality of website independent feedback, the expense that is used to feed back is excessive.
Below, below with the example that is fed back to of relaying HARQ data block, the feedback method of multi-hop relay method in the embodiment of the present invention is elaborated.
Wherein, comprise in the feedback information: the targeted sites of feedback sign, for example RSID tabulation etc.; Message bit pattern (Bitmap) to the targeted sites feedback.Any data block that comprises business datum, for example HARQ data block or ARQ data block etc., feedback information be mapped to a bit position of this bitmap uniquely, show whether corresponding data block is correctly received.
In the MAP message of HARQ data block, comprise that is used to an indicating bit of representing that the transmit leg website needs recipient's website to feed back, this indicating bit also can be included in other information in the HARQ data block.After receiving the data block that comprises business datum when recipient's website, and to judge this data block be the HARQ data block, promptly comprises indicating bit in the data block, then according to predefined frame period, sends the relaying feedback to the transmit leg website.
The relaying feedback can adopt the method for synchronization, recipient's website is after receiving that relaying is transmitted data block, after predefined frame period, feed back, promptly receive relaying and transmit data block to this data block is fed back, like this, the transmit leg website just can be known the feedback information that goes to receive to this data block in which frame.
If the transmit leg website is not being received the feedback of recipient's website to respective data blocks in corresponding frame, then the transmit leg website thinks that recipient's website correctly do not receive this data block; If the transmit leg website is being received the feedback of receiving terminal to this data block in corresponding frame, but feedback information represents to receive mistake, show that then recipient's website correctly do not receive this data block.
Judge incorrect this data block that receives of recipient's website when the transmit leg website, then can start, resend this data block in the suitable time to the resending of this data.
Recipient's website to the feedback of data block comprise affirmation (Acknowledgement, ACK) and non-affirmation (Negative Acknowledgement, NAK).If recipient's website correctly receives relaying and transmits data block, then the frame in appointment sends the affirmation feedback to transmitting terminal; If receiving terminal does not correctly receive relaying and transmits data block, then the frame in appointment sends non-affirmation feedback to the transmit leg website.

Because RS I do not send the terminal frame head, RS I need receive this terminal frame head when AS sends the terminal frame head, and according to the indication of this terminal frame head, is the service of the MS in its compass of competency.RS II sends and the identical terminal frame head of AS, and this needs AS in advance by relay sub-frame, gives RS II with the terminals frames hair that generates, and RS II is the service of the MS in its compass of competency according to the indication of this terminal frame head.
In the terminal subframe, AS is that RS I and RS II do resource management, and by terminal frame head indication RS I and RS II be the interior MS of the compass of competency resource location of serving separately, comprise that RS I and the RS II MS in compass of competency separately sends the resource of downlink data, and receive resource from the upstream data of MS in the compass of competency separately.
In relay sub-frame, RS I and RS II do not send the relaying frame head, by AS is that RS I and RS II do resource management, and to the resource location that RS I and RS II indicate its relay sub-frame, comprise that receiving downlink relay transmits data block and send the resource location that uplink relay is transmitted data block by the relaying frame head.
Figure 23 is the schematic diagram of low ability RS cascade system 2 in the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in figure 23, AS is the RS or the BS of high ability, and RS I and RS II are low ability RS, do not have resource management capacity fully; RS I and RS II and AS use same frequency range, and all are connected to AS.Wherein, RSI does not send the terminal frame head, and RS II sends the terminal frame head identical with its higher level's website, RS I and RS II and AS use same frequency range, and all being connected to AS, is the scheduling that RS I and RS II do the terminal subframe by AS, thereby has reduced the complexity of low ability RS.
In the cascade system 3, in first relay sub-frame and second relay sub-frame, low ability RS is in idle condition, like this, has further reduced the complexity of low ability RS.
Be with the main distinction of two kinds of different Cascading Methods shown in Figure 23 as Figure 22, in the low ability RS cascade system 1 shown in Figure 22, relay data transmits by relay sub-frame, therefore can use with diverse resource division of terminal subframe and data transmission method and come the transmission trunking data; In the low ability RS cascade system 2 shown in Figure 23, relay data transmits by the terminal subframe, therefore the resource division of relay data employing and data transfer mode and terminal subframe are identical, promptly adopt existing resources to divide the transmission that just can realize relay data with data transmission method.
From the downstream station subframe, mark off a zone as the downlink relay district, be used to transmit downlink data from AS to low ability RS; From up terminal subframe, mark off a zone as the uplink relay district, be used to transmit upstream data from low ability RS to AS.The downlink relay district begins part need send the relaying frame head, and the relaying frame head has been indicated the time-frequency resource allocating situation in downlink relay district and uplink relay district.
For the downstream station subframe, consider that each RS and their access website need send pilot tone respectively, so the resource used of each RS and their access website quadrature in time.In up terminal subframe, then only need the running time-frequency resource quadrature to get final product.
Figure 24 is the schematic diagram of low ability RS cascade system 3 in the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in figure 24, AS is the BS or the RS of high ability; RS I and RS II are the low ability RS with part resource management capacity, can do the resource management of relay sub-frame; Wherein, RS I does not send the terminal frame head, and RS II sends the terminal frame head identical with its higher level's website; RS I and RS II and AS use same frequency range, and all are connected to AS, are the resource management that RSI and RSII do the terminal subframe by AS; The resource management of RS I and RS II it goes without doing terminal subframe, thus the complexity of low ability RS reduced.
In this cascade mode, low ability RS is the same with high ability RS, can realize the mutual cascade of multi-hop relay by relay sub-frame.For the downstream station subframe, consider that each RS and their access website need send pilot tone respectively, so the resource used of each RS and their access website quadrature in time.In up terminal subframe, then only need the running time-frequency resource quadrature to get final product.
More than be to the detailed description of the multihop relay system of embodiment of the present invention and multi-hop relay method in practical situations.
The multihop relay system of embodiment of the present invention and multi-hop relay method, not only realized the mutual cascade of multistage RS, and the multi-hop cascade between multiple ability RS, realized that also rational relay transmission resource allocation, relay transmission resource are adjusted, the dynamic trunking frame head distributes, relay data transmits and the relaying feedback, guarantee reliability, the practicality of multi-hop relay, made the technical scheme of embodiment of the present invention can realize the multi-hop relay transmission effectively.
The above only is better embodiment of the present invention, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.All within the spirit and principle of embodiment of the present invention, any modification of being done, be equal to and replace and improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
