Background technology
Along with the commercialization of 3G system begins; Have higher rate, more the B3G/4G technology of spectral efficient, higher covering and stronger service supporting capacity has got into normalization period; ITU plans to accomplish the B3G frequency spectrum in 2007 and plans; Accomplished main standard in 2010, beginning in 2012 is commercial, and large scale investment is commercial after 2015.B3G/4G requires transmission rate can reach 1Gbps, and the frequency spectrum that needs is 100MHz at least.For the spectrum requirement in such broadband, be difficult in the existing frequency range and find, therefore need distribute higher frequency range, such as 5GHz or 6GHz to B3G/4G.
Though improve the frequency-assignment problem that working frequency range can solve B3G/4G, also can bring the problems in the realization thereupon.On the one hand, operation frequency range is high more, and electromagnetic decline is more severe, that is to say that base station transmitting power can exist than high attenuation.The quick decline of base station transmitting power can cause the coverage of base station to diminish, and under the constant situation of base station range, the quick decline of power can cause the power control at edge, sub-district not ideal enough; If keep the coverage of base station constant, then need further to strengthen the transmitting power of base station, can increase irradiation of electromagnetic waves like this, and people hope that electromagnetic wave is more little good more to the radiation of human body.Moreover operation frequency range is high more, electromagnetic diffracting power is poor more, penetration capacity also more a little less than, in this case, electromagnetic wave is more and more near straightline propagation.If exist building to block, will cause " shade " area that exists a lot of electromagnetic waves to arrive in the sub-district.Such as a user terminal (UT) at the back at a building; Can't walk around building owing to electromagnetic diffracting power difference and reach this user terminal place; In addition; Arrive this user terminal owing to making electromagnetic wave signal can't pass building a little less than the electromagnetic penetration capacity, finally cause this user terminal to receive from signal of base station.
Introduce the wireless relay technology and can solve, thereby receive extensive concern such as normal structures such as IEEE802.16j owing to building blocks and the covering problem of any signal all inaccessible " dead band " phenomenon that the influence that declines causes.In these dead bands, user terminal is merely able to the relaying through relay station, can access network and the service that provides of enjoy network.But, outside cell edge or sub-district, which sub-district some user terminals in the scope that particularly a plurality of relay stations cover insert through which kind of path, are the problems that needs solve.
In sum, a kind of Cell Edge User of current needs terminal is through the technical scheme of wireless relay access network.
