Broadcast/multi broadcast need be by RS in the sub-district for step S1, BS
1The common data of transmitting, and definite RS
1Transmit the transformat and the running time-frequency resource of common data;
In practice, and the multimedia broadcast multi-broadcasting business that common data can comprise system message in the sub-district, transmit in the sub-district (Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service, MBMS) etc.
RS in step S2, the sub-district
1And UT
2Receive described common data;
Because UT
1At RS
1Coverage in, and outside the coverage of BS, so can only receive RS
1The data of transmitting, and can't receive the common data that BS sends.
Step S3, RS
1The common data that receives is transmitted to UT
1, simultaneously, BS is to UT
2Send new data;
Have in the sub-district under the situation of a plurality of relay stations, the forwarding of described common data can be in the following ways:
First kind of mode, each relay station adopt identical running time-frequency resource and transformat to send common data, and for example, (Single Frequency Network, mode SFN) sends common data with single frequency network.
In this case, if from the time-delay of the data incoming terminal of different relay stations in certain scope, then this SFN transmission means can make terminal carry out soft merging, soft merging was meant before decoding, the signal that terminal will come from a plurality of sub-districts merges, this mode can be brought diversity gain, can save MBMS power again, thereby receptivity is improved;
The second way, each relay station is transmitted common data and is adopted the mode that sends separately, and promptly each relay station can use different transformats and running time-frequency resource to transmit common data separately.
For the purpose of the present invention, all be feasible no matter which kind of send mode repeater adopt transmit common data, those skilled in the art as required or experience select arbitrarily to get final product, the present invention is not limited this.
In practice, among the described step S3 following disturbing factor may appear:
First kind of factor is to suppose UT
1Be arranged in the coverage (Fig. 3 is not shown) of BS, so UT
1Not only can receive RS
1The common data of transmitting can also receive the downlink data that BS sends, if BS and RS
1On identical running time-frequency resource, send data, then UT
1Receive RS
1The common data of transmitting can be subjected to the interference that BS sends downlink data.
Certainly, if UT
1Be in outside the coverage of BS,, therefore also just can be subjected to the interference that BS sends downlink data owing to do not receive the data that BS sends.
Second kind of factor is UT
2Not only can receive the downlink data that BS sends, can also receive RS
1If the common data of transmitting is BS and RS
1On identical running time-frequency resource, send data, then UT
2The downlink data that receives the BS transmission can be subjected to RS
1Transmit the interference of common data.
Further, suppose that BS is to UT

1Downlink data, i.e. interference signal.If UT
1Outside the coverage of BS, the transmission signal of BS is to UT
1Reception influence very little, this numerical value is 0 or very little, so disturb very little; If UT
1In the coverage of BS, execution in step S4 then;
Step S4, if UT
1Within the coverage of BS, BS select target terminal UT
2Send;
Preferably, can choose described target terminal by following substep:
Substep F1, measure the signal strength signal intensity or the signal quality of the pilot channel of the common down channel that described base station sends by the terminal that the base station covered;
The terminal that substep F2, the described signal strength signal intensity of described base station selection or quality surpass default thresholding is a target terminal.
Perhaps, can choose the target terminal of described base station by following substep:
Substep G1, obtain described base station and cover location information of terminals;
Described positional information can be obtained by GPS.
Substep G2, the nearest terminal of the described base station location of selected distance are target terminal.
Perhaps, can choose the target terminal of described base station by following substep:
Substep H1, estimate the arrival angle that terminal that described base station covered transmits, and locate the orientation of described terminal;
In practice, can estimate the arrival angle that terminal transmits by antenna system, and the residing orientation of definite terminal.
Substep H2, choose the transmission wave beam of aiming at described base station down transmission and, the terminal outside described relay station coverage is a target terminal.
Described target terminal can not cause interference to the transmission of relay station.
Based on the application scenarios of Fig. 4, because UT
2Nearer from BS, BS can adopt smaller transmission power to UT
2Send downlink data, i.e. S
1Power reduction, thereby make UT
1The reception signal interference ratio improve.As can be seen, the selection principle of described target terminal can for, choose the terminal that can effectively reduce the BS transmitted power, concrete method can also comprise and improves RS
1Transmitted power, that is, make signal S
2Power increases, perhaps, and the terminal that selective reception power is bigger etc.That is to say, in practice, can also be by changing the transmitting power size of base station and relay station, as by increase the base station and transmitting power eliminate the interference that relay station is transmitted common data, the transmitting power that increases relay station is eliminated the interference of base station transmission new data; Perhaps, by reduce the base station and transmitting power eliminate the interference that relay station is transmitted common data, reduce the transmitting power of relay station and eliminate the interference that the base station sends new data.
Certainly, the above-mentioned method of choosing the target terminal of described base station only is used for example, and it all is feasible that those skilled in the art adopt any method, and the present invention does not need this to limit.
