The method and apparatus technical fields of plurality of relay stations in wireless communication network combined relaying
The present invention relates to the method and device that many relay station joint down hop equipment in wireless relay network, more particularly to wireless relay network send signal.Background technology
Within a wireless communication network, the introducing of relay station contributes to the overlay area of Extended Cell and improves the data throughput of cell.With the development of relaying technique, combined relaying scheme is occurred in that, so-called combined relaying, namely multiple relay stations joint down hop equipment send signal.Using combined relaying technology, the multiple transmitting antennas being distributed on multiple relay stations can realize the gains such as spatial reuse, space diversity.Because there is above-mentioned advantage, combined relaying occupies very important status in junction network.
In the prior art, there are two kinds of schemes for being used to realize many relay station combined relayings, be referred to as open loop approach and closed-loop fashion.

In first time slot, X is sent by relay station B, relay station C sends X2;
In second time slot ,-X is sent by relay station B2*, relay station C is sent
In 3rd time slot, X is sent by relay station B3, relay station C sends X4;
In 4th time slot ,-X is sent by relay station B4*, relay station C sends X3* ;Etc..It is not difficult to find out, based on ADSTC, relay station B, C constitute a distributed testing system system, result in space diversity gain.But, the signal that each relay station is sent does not use any channel information, thus, it is impossible to obtain array gain(Array gain), systematic function has the space further improved.Further, since the encoder matrix that ADSTC is used is 2x2's Alamouti matrixes, therefore it is only applicable to that two relay stations carry out combined relayings and each relay station only has the situation of a transmitting antenna.In other words, if participating in the relay station more than two of combined relaying, the relay station having more will be idle;If the transmitting antenna sum for participating in each relay station configuration of combined relaying is more than 2, then the antenna having more also will be idle.
