Wherein, RN equipment 10 is according to the down buffer storage data volume, and the mode of determining the flow scheduling parameter has a variety of, enumerates several below.
Mode one, report the down buffer storage state of all sub-districts under the RN equipment.
RN equipment 10 is determined the flow scheduling parameter according to the down buffer storage data volume of logic channel correspondence.
Wherein, according to the down buffer storage data volume of logic channel correspondence, the mode of determining the flow scheduling parameter has a variety of again, enumerates several below.
Mode A1, RN equipment 10 determines the down buffer storage data volume sum of self all logic channel correspondence, and according to down buffer storage data volume sum, determines the flow scheduling parameter.
Can be such as: RN equipment 10 with the value of down buffer storage data volume sum value as the flow scheduling parameter; RN equipment 10 can also be according to the corresponding relation of predefined number range and call number, determines the call number of the number range correspondence under the value of down buffer storage data volume sum, then with the value of call number as the flow scheduling parameter.

Mode A2, RN equipment 10 are determined the logic channel in each logic channel group according to the logic channel group of dividing in advance;
When having only a logic channel in the logic channel group that corresponding down buffer storage data are arranged, determine the down buffer storage data volume of this logic channel group correspondence;
According to the down buffer storage data volume of this logic channel group correspondence, determine the flow scheduling parameter.
Can be such as: RN equipment 10 with the value of the down buffer storage data volume of this logic channel group correspondence value as the flow scheduling parameter; RN equipment 10 can also be according to the corresponding relation of predefined number range and call number, determines the call number of the number range correspondence under the value of down buffer storage data volume of this logic channel group correspondence, then with the value of call number as the flow scheduling parameter.
Need to prove that the embodiment of the invention is not limited to above-mentioned dual mode, other can be according to down buffer storage data volume sum, and the mode of determining the flow scheduling parameter all is to use the embodiment of the invention.
Mode A3, RN equipment 10 are determined the logic channel in each logic channel group according to the logic channel group of dividing in advance;
When the logic channel in a plurality of logic channel groups are arranged has corresponding down buffer storage data, determine the down buffer storage data volume of all logic channel group correspondences;
According to the down buffer storage data volume of each logic channel group correspondence, determine each logic channel group corresponding flow scheduling parameter respectively.
Concrete, RN equipment 10 is determined after the down buffer storage data volume of each logic channel group correspondence (if the logic channel group that has does not have the down buffer storage data volume, then with the down buffer storage data volume of this logic channel group correspondence as 0), according to the down buffer storage data volume, determine each logic channel group corresponding flow scheduling parameter.That is to say have what logic channel groups will determine what flow scheduling parameters.
Determine among the mode A3 to determine among each logic channel group corresponding flow scheduling parameter and the mode A2 that the mode of a logic channel group corresponding flow scheduling parameter is similar, do not repeat them here.
Wherein, the logic channel group among mode A2 and the A3 can be divided back notice RN equipment 10 by base station 20, also can be by being stored in respectively after the agreement regulation in RN equipment 10 and the base station 20.The logicality of dividing can be adjusted as required to group.Because mode A2 and A3 do not need distinguishing cell, so in the logic channel group at mode A2 and A3, the logic channel of same logic channel group can belong to same sub-district also can belong to different districts.
At mode one, RN equipment 10 can place data cell with the flow scheduling parameter when the 20 transmitted traffic scheduling parameter of base station.
Here can introduce a new MAC CE (MAC Control Element, media access control layer control unit) and be used for the bearing downlink buffer status, for convenience of description hereinafter to be referred as DL buffer MAC CE.Then data cell can be MAC CE.
Need to prove that the embodiment of the invention is not limited to MAC CE, all is to use the embodiment of the invention as long as the flow scheduling parameter can be sent to the data cell of base station.
Concrete, RN equipment 10 usefulness MAC CE bearer traffic scheduling parameter, and logical channel number placed the MAC head of this MAC CE correspondence, wherein to be used to indicate the corresponding loading section of MAC head be the MAC CE (being DL buffer MACCE) that carries the flow scheduling parameter of RN equipment to logical channel number;
RN equipment 10 sends the MAC PDU (MAC Packet Data Unit, descending media access control protocol data unit) that comprises this MAC CE and corresponding MAC head to base station 20.
No matter be mode A1, A2 and A3, the form of the corresponding MAC head of DL buffer MAC CE all is the same, referring to Fig. 5 A.
Among Fig. 5 A, LCID (Logical Channel ID, Logic Channel Identifier): be used to identify the logical channel number of corresponding load part, long BSR (long reporting cached state), short BSR (short reporting cached state), truncated BSR (reporting cached state that does not have the top) respectively have a LCID.
E: extended bit, being used to indicate next byte is MAC head or MAC load.
R: reserved bit.
In specific implementation process, the DL buffer MAC CE of mode A1, A2 and A3 can be different.
The DL buffer MAC CE of mode A1 because mode A1 does not distinguish the logic channel of down buffer storage data correspondence, only carries out total amount and reports shown in Fig. 5 B, so also do not need in the DL buffer MAC CE form to divide.
Such as the capacity among Fig. 5 B is 8 bits, and the bit number that takies when total buffer memory can also be introduced reserved bit during less than 8 bits in DL buffer MAC CE.
The DL buffer MAC CE of mode A2 is shown in Fig. 5 C, owing to have only a logic channel group that the down buffer storage data volume is arranged, so only need report this logic channel group to get final product, which logic channel group in order to allow base station 20 know is, RN equipment 10 can be according to the corresponding relation of predefined logic channel group and logic channel group id, determine the logic channel group id of this logic channel group correspondence, behind the logic channel group id and the binding of down buffer storage data volume determined, place the MAC CE of bearer traffic scheduling parameter.
Suppose to have 4 logic channel groups, every group of down buffer storage reports and only needs 6bit, when having only a logic channel group that downlink data is arranged, the logic channel group id can be placed the front, the back amount of releasing scheduling parameter.
Wherein, the corresponding relation of logic channel group and logic channel group id can be set up back notice RN equipment 10 by base station 20, also can be by being stored in respectively after the agreement regulation in RN equipment 10 and the base station 20.
Need to prove that the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the form of Fig. 5 C, other DL buffer MAC CE forms that logic channel group id and flow scheduling parameter can be sent to base station 20 all are suitable for the embodiment of the invention.
The DL buffer MAC CE of mode A3 is shown in Fig. 5 D, owing to there being a plurality of logic channel groups that the down buffer storage data volume is arranged, so each flow scheduling parameter can be placed in order the MAC CE of bearer traffic scheduling parameter.
Have 4 logic channel groups such as one, according to the order of logic channel group id, (promptly 0,1,2,3) places DL buffer MAC CE with logic channel group corresponding flow scheduling parameter from small to large.
At mode one, RN equipment 10 can determine satisfy first trigger condition, and have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources the time, determine the flow scheduling parameter.
The flow scheduling parameter that can carry here is according to different modes, and the surplus resources capacity that needs is also inequality, needs the surplus resources that can carry the form shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B such as mode A1; Mode A2 needs the surplus resources that can carry the form shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 C; Mode A3 needs the surplus resources that can carry the form shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 D.
Wherein, determine to satisfy first trigger condition during a kind of in satisfying following condition of RN equipment 10:
The first triggering cycle arrived (being periodic triggers), and concrete can be provided with DL buffer timer, started after DLbuffer reports or restarted, and triggered reporting behind this timer expiry;
Greater than first threshold value (being Event triggered), the down buffer storage data volume here also can replace to access link downlink resource utilance to down buffer storage data volume (being the value of back haul link data volume-access link data volume);
Less than second threshold value (being Event triggered), the down buffer storage data volume here also can replace to access link downlink resource utilance to down buffer storage data volume (being the value of back haul link data volume-access link data volume).
First threshold value and second threshold value can be provided with as required, such as can back notice RN equipment 10 being set by base station 20, also can be provided with by RN equipment 10, can also manually be provided with and store in the RN equipment 10.
After in specific implementation process, might occurring determining to satisfy a plurality of first trigger conditions, just have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources, at this moment RN equipment 10 can be according to the time sequencing that satisfies first trigger condition, down buffer storage data volume when satisfying first trigger condition according to the last time is determined the flow scheduling parameter.
Then trigger such as timer before this, after be that the down buffer storage data volume triggers greater than first threshold value, and after the down buffer storage data volume triggers greater than first threshold value, just have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources, down buffer storage data volume when at this moment triggering greater than first threshold value according to the down buffer storage data volume is determined the flow scheduling parameter.
Because the down buffer storage data volume triggers greater than first threshold value, just have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources, at this moment determined the flow scheduling parameter, and timer then triggers and is also keeping, so need the deletion timer to trigger, then RN equipment 10 is after the 20 transmitted traffic scheduling parameter of base station, and deletion the last time is satisfied all triggerings of determining before first trigger condition.
At mode one, RN equipment 10 can also determine to have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources the time, determine flow scheduling parameter (being that padding triggers).
The flow scheduling parameter that can carry during Padding triggers is according to different modes, the surplus resources capacity that needs is also inequality, concrete back haul link uplink have surplus resources can with and can hold DLbuffer MAC CE and MAC the time, can determine to have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources.
In specific implementation process, the priority of Event triggered and periodic triggers can be higher than the priority that padding triggers.
Mode two, report the down buffer storage state of 10 times each sub-districts of RN equipment.
Wherein, the upstream data whether mode two can be distinguished from the different districts of RN equipment 10 according to base station 20 again is divided into dual mode.
The upstream data from the different districts of RN equipment 10 can be distinguished in mode B1, base station 20.
Mode B1 and mode one are similar, also are the down buffer storage data volumes according to the logic channel correspondence, determine the flow scheduling parameter.
Difference is: if when adopting mode A1 in the similar fashion one, RN equipment 10 is determined just is not the down buffer storage data volume sum of self all logic channel correspondence, but determines the down buffer storage data volume sum of all logic channel correspondences under the same sub-district.
If adopt mode A2 or A3 (promptly dividing the logic channel group) in the similar fashion one, then when dividing the logic channel group, all logic channels in the same logic channel group belong to same sub-district, and other process and mode one are similar, do not repeat them here.
The upstream data from the different districts of RN equipment 10 can not be distinguished in mode B2, base station 20.
Wherein, RN equipment 10 is determined each logic channel group corresponding district sign; Each logic channel group corresponding district sign is placed the MAC CE of MAC of MAC CE correspondence of the bearer traffic scheduling parameter or bearer traffic scheduling parameter or as the MAC PDU head of MAC independently.
Concrete, because the upstream data from the different districts of RN equipment 10 can not be distinguished in base station 20, so cell ID need be placed MAC PDU.
If adopt the mode A1 in the similar fashion one, then can in the DL of Fig. 5 B buffer MAC CE, add cell ID, and RN equipment 10 is determined is not the down buffer storage data volume sum of self all logic channel correspondence, but determines the down buffer storage data volume sum of all logic channel correspondences under the same sub-district.
If adopt mode A2 or A3 (promptly dividing the logic channel group) in the similar fashion one, then can in the DL buffer of Fig. 5 C and Fig. 5 D MAC CE, add cell ID, and when dividing the logic channel group, all logic channels in the same logic channel group belong to same sub-district.
Except the mode of interpolation cell ID above-mentioned, also have some universal mode, promptly no matter concrete which kind of mode in the employing mode one all is suitable for.
Shown in Fig. 5 E, can introduce total MAC head, experimental process head under this child head and corresponding MAC load belong to same sub-district.
Shown in Fig. 5 F, in DL buffer MAC, add indication territory, sub-district, MAC form of DL buffer is as follows, and wherein the length in cell ID (cell ID) territory represents that by the final cell ID that determines mode is definite.
The triggering mode of the triggering mode of mode two and mode one is similar, does not repeat them here.
At mode two, if after determining to satisfy a plurality of first trigger conditions, just have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources, at this moment RN equipment 10 can be according to the time sequencing that satisfies first trigger condition, down buffer storage data volume when satisfying first trigger condition according to the last time is determined the flow scheduling parameter.
At mode two, RN equipment 10 can be deleted the last all triggerings determined before first trigger condition of satisfying after the 20 transmitted traffic scheduling parameter of base station.
Mode three, represent the state of current back haul link downlink transmission data amount with 1~2 bit.
RN equipment 10 is determined link corresponding information bit value according to the down buffer storage data volume, and according to the link information bit value, determines the value of flow scheduling parameter, and wherein the link information bit value is used to indicate the state of down buffer storage data volume.
Mode three and mode one and two differences are that RN equipment 10 with the value of link information bit value as the flow scheduling parameter, compares the amount of bits that mode one and mode two can reduce transmission like this.
Suppose link information bit stealing 1 bit, whether then different bits is represented the current downlink data amount of receiving from back haul link and is mated from the data volume that access link sends to user terminal.
For example:
0 expression coupling, 1 expression (back haul link data volume-access link data volume)〉first threshold value;
Accordingly, existing back haul link data volume is kept in base station 20 after receiving 0, receives 1 back minimizing back haul link downlink data amount.
For example:
0 expression (back haul link data volume-access link data volume)<second thresholding, 1 expression (back haul link data volume-access link data volume)〉first thresholding;
Base station 20 is receiving that 0 back suitably increases back haul link downlink data amount according to data status to be sent, receives 1 back minimizing back haul link downlink data amount.
Suppose link information bit stealing 1 bit, then can represent 4 states, wherein 3 bit representation back haul link data volumes are greater than the access link data volume in utilization, and the back haul link data volume is less than the access link data volume, and back haul link data volume and link data are flux matched.
For example:
00 expression coupling, 01 expression (back haul link data volume-access link data volume)〉first thresholding, 10 expression (back haul link data volume-access link data volume)<second thresholdings;
Accordingly, existing back haul link data volume is kept in base station 20 after receiving 00, receives 01 back minimizing back haul link downlink data amount, receives that 10 backs can suitably increase back haul link downlink data amount according to data status to be sent.
In specific implementation process, specifically adopt several bits, and the concrete implication of bit is what can also can be stipulated by base station 20 setting back notice RN equipment 10 in agreement.
In specific implementation process, mode one and mode two RN equipment 10 are PUSCH (PhysicalUplink Shared channel, Physical Uplink Shared Channel) resource transmission of utilizing.
Owing to report the expense that takies very little, can utilize PUSCH resource or PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control channel, Physical Uplink Control Channel) resource transmission in the mode three.
That is to say that RN equipment 10 sends by PUSCH resource or PUCCH resource the flow scheduling parameter to the base station
Concrete, PUSCH resource: need not design special MAC CE, can utilize the reserved bit of the corresponding son head of other MAC CE or MAC SDU, be defined in transmission in certain specific MAC head.
That is to say that RN equipment 10 sends by the reserved bit in special-purpose PUCCH resource or the special MAC head flow scheduling parameter to the base station.
Such as the R bit transfer of utilizing among Fig. 5 A.
In order accurately to find the downlink data amount to report the MAC head at place, can stipulate that it is arranged in specific MAC head, as: go up row cache and report the MAC head or the downlink data amount of BSR correspondence to report the sub-head of first MAC that triggers first uplink of back.
The PUCCH resource: the PUCCH resource is a physical layer control resource, by the RRC signaling.Can be used to report to the special-purpose PUCCH resource that RN disposes 1 or 2 bits.
Need to prove that the embodiment of the invention is not limited to above-mentioned transmission means, other can all be suitable for the embodiment of the invention by the mode of PUSCH resource or PUCCH resource transmission flow scheduling parameter.
Wherein, the triggering mode of the triggering mode of mode three and mode one is similar, and Event triggered and periodic triggers are also arranged, and wherein Event triggered can be identical with Event triggered and the periodic triggers in the mode one with periodic triggers.
In the Event triggered such as mode three, can satisfy the back in following condition and confirm Event triggered:
(back haul link data volume-access link data volume) is greater than first thresholding;
(back haul link data volume-access link data volume) is less than second thresholding;
In specific implementation process, (back haul link data volume-access link data volume) can also be replaced with (back haul link data volume-access link data volume)/back haul link data volume.
At 1 bit,, do not trigger when then satisfying " less than second thresholding " condition if there is not the expression position of " less than second thresholding ".
Mode three also has a resource triggering mode, the padding of similar fashion one sets out, if promptly the downlink data amount of regulation RN equipment 10 utilizes the R bit of special MAC head (as the corresponding MAC head of up BSR) to report the triggering of can (giving the correct time on as up BSR) when this child head occurs.
Such as finishing once modes such as triggering back other all triggerings of cancellation and mode one is similar, do not repeat them here.
At mode three, if after determining to satisfy a plurality of first trigger conditions, just have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources, at this moment RN equipment 10 can be according to the time sequencing that satisfies first trigger condition, down buffer storage data volume when satisfying first trigger condition according to the last time is determined the flow scheduling parameter.
At mode three, RN equipment 10 can be deleted the last all triggerings determined before first trigger condition of satisfying after the 20 transmitted traffic scheduling parameter of base station.
Mode four, report the state of 10 times specific user terminal of RN equipment.
Mode one, two, three all is based on the conceptual data amount control of interface, but congested sometimes just certain user terminal channel condition worsens suddenly and cause, so the report introduced the specific user terminal congestion state of mode four.
Because the data volume of mode four is bigger, so mode four can adopt the MACCE bearer traffic scheduling parameter that is mapped on the PUSCH.
RN equipment 10 is determined the user terminal that need carry out flow control according to the down buffer storage data volume of user terminal correspondence; Carry out the sign of the user terminal of flow control as required, determine the flow scheduling parameter.
Can be such as: RN equipment 10 with the sign of user terminal as the flow scheduling parameter.
The sign of user terminal can be to distribute to C-RNTI of this user terminal (Cell Radio NetworkTemporary Identifier, Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier/Identity, Cell-RNTI) or the peculiar sign of user terminal.
Identical with mode one, also be to introduce a new MAC CE to be used for the bearing downlink buffer status here, i.e. DL buffer MAC.
Concrete, RN equipment 10 usefulness MAC CE bearer traffic scheduling parameter, and particular logical channel number placed the MAC head of this MAC CE correspondence, wherein to be used to indicate the loading section of MAC correspondence be the MAC CE of bearer traffic scheduling parameter to logical channel number; Send the MAC PDU that comprises this MACCE to base station 20.
Wherein, the form of MAC of MAC CE correspondence head is identical with the form of the corresponding MAC head of DL buffer MAC CE in the mode one, specifically can be referring to Fig. 5 A.
In the mode four, the form of DL buffer MAC CE has a variety of, enumerates several below.
The sign of mode C1, report of user terminal and flow scheduling parameter.
The down buffer storage data volume that RN equipment 10 carries out the user terminal correspondence of flow control with needs places the MAC CE of bearer traffic scheduling parameter, the flow scheduling parameter of this moment comprises the sign of user terminal and down buffer storage data volume two parts content of this terminal, specifically referring to Fig. 5 G.

The flow scheduling parameter that can carry here is according to different modes, and the surplus resources capacity that needs is also inequality, needs the surplus resources that can carry the form shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 G such as mode C1; Mode C2 needs the surplus resources that can carry the form shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 H.
Wherein, determine to satisfy second trigger condition during a kind of in satisfying following condition of RN equipment 10:
The second triggering cycle arrived (being periodic triggers), and concrete can be provided with DL buffer timer, started after DLbuffer reports or restarted, and triggered reporting behind this timer expiry;
The down buffer storage data volume of user terminal correspondence (being the value of back haul link data volume-access link data volume) is greater than the 3rd threshold value (being Event triggered);
The downlink transmission parameters of user terminal correspondence (being the value of back haul link data volume-access link data volume) is greater than the 4th threshold value (being Event triggered), and wherein downlink transmission parameters equals the ratio (i.e. (value of back haul link data volume-access link data volume)/back haul link data volume) of down buffer storage data volume He this family terminal corresponding return link data amount of user terminal correspondence.
In specific implementation process, RN equipment 10 can be determined the 3rd threshold value and the 4th threshold value of user terminal correspondence according to the user terminal of setting up in advance and the corresponding relation of threshold value; Or, determine to send to the 3rd threshold value and the 4th threshold value of the type of service correspondence under the data of user terminal according to the type of service of setting up in advance and the corresponding relation of threshold value.
The corresponding relation of the corresponding relation of user terminal and threshold value and type of service and threshold value can be set up back notice RN equipment 10 by base station 20, also can set in agreement.
Need to prove that above-mentioned two kinds of corresponding relations can be set and upgrade as required.
After in specific implementation process, might occurring determining to satisfy a plurality of first trigger conditions, just have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources, at this moment can be according to the time sequencing that satisfies second trigger condition, down buffer storage data volume when satisfying first trigger condition according to the last time is determined the flow scheduling parameter.
Then trigger such as timer before this, after be that the down buffer storage data volume of user terminal correspondence triggers greater than the 3rd threshold value, and after the down buffer storage data volume is greater than the 3rd threshold value, just have in the back haul link uplink can the bearer traffic scheduling parameter surplus resources, at this moment the down buffer storage data volume during greater than the 3rd threshold value according to the down buffer storage data volume is determined the flow scheduling parameter.

The mode three that the mode three here and the embodiment of the invention are adjusted in the system of data volume is identical, does not repeat them here.
In specific implementation process, specifically adopt several bits, and the concrete implication of bit is what can also can be stipulated by notice RN equipment after the base station sets in agreement.
In specific implementation process, mode one and mode two RN equipment are PUSCH resource transmission of utilizing.
Owing to report the expense that takies very little, can utilize PUSCH resource or PUCCH resource transmission in the mode three.
That is to say that in the step 602, RN equipment sends by PUSCH resource or PUCCH resource the flow scheduling parameter to the base station
Concrete, PUSCH resource: need not design special MAC CE, can utilize the reserved bit of the corresponding son head of other MAC CE or MAC SDU, be defined in transmission in certain specific MAC head.
That is to say that RN equipment sends by the reserved bit in special-purpose PUCCH resource or the special MAC head flow scheduling parameter to the base station.

In the step 603, when the data volume of descending back haul link is adjusted in the base station, can also adjust the directly downlink resource of the grand user terminal of management of base station, such as RN equipment down buffer storage data volume more for a long time, the base station is just many to grand user terminal allocation of downlink scheduling resource, reduces the downlink resource to RN equipment.
The base station can also be according to the flow scheduling parameter, adjust the sub-frame number of descending back haul link, concrete, if the information that the base station reports according to RN equipment, determine that back haul link downlink data amount is lower than the access link data volume for a long time, then the base station can increase the number of DL backhaul subframe;
If back haul link downlink data amount is higher than the access link data volume for a long time, the DLbackhaul number of sub-frames can be reduced in the base station, makes RN equipment have more subframes to can be used for the downlink transfer of access link.
As shown in Figure 7, second kind of method of adjusting data volume of the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:
Step 701, base station receive the flow scheduling parameter from RN equipment, and wherein the flow scheduling parameter is that RN equipment is determined according to the down buffer storage data volume.
Wherein, RN equipment is determined the particular content of flow scheduling parameter according to the down buffer storage data volume, can not repeat them here referring to first kind of corresponding contents of adjusting the method for data volume of the embodiment of the invention.
Step 702, base station according to receive according to the flow scheduling parameter, adjust the data volume of descending back haul link.
Wherein, the particular content of the data volume of descending back haul link is adjusted according to the flow scheduling parameter in the base station, can not repeat them here referring to first kind of corresponding contents of adjusting the method for data volume of the embodiment of the invention.
If the base station also receives the sign from the user terminal of RN equipment in the step 701; Then the data volume that sends to the sign corresponding user terminal in the descending back haul link is adjusted according to the flow scheduling parameter of receiving in the base station, base station in the step 702.
In the step 702, self directly downlink resource of the grand UE of management can also be adjusted according to the flow scheduling parameter in the base station.
Wherein, the base station can not repeat them here referring to first kind of corresponding contents of adjusting the method for data volume of the embodiment of the invention according to the particular content of the downlink resource of the grand UE of flow scheduling parameter adjustment.
In the step 702, the sub-frame number of descending back haul link can also be adjusted according to the flow scheduling parameter in the base station.
Wherein, the base station can not repeat them here referring to first kind of corresponding contents of adjusting the method for data volume of the embodiment of the invention according to the particular content according to the sub-frame number of the descending back haul link of flow scheduling parameter adjustment.
From the foregoing description as can be seen: embodiment of the invention RN equipment is determined the flow scheduling parameter according to the down buffer storage data volume; RN equipment asks described base station according to described flow scheduling parameter to base station transmitted traffic scheduling parameter, adjusts the data volume of descending back haul link.
Because DeNB can control the downlink data amount in the LTE-A system, avoid because the very difficult downlink data downlink data congested or R-UE of the downlink data amount being controlled the RN equipment of appearance of DeNB postpones, thereby reduced the delay of downlink data, improved data transmission efficiency and systematic function.
