Description

Relay communication method and system
Technical Field
The present invention belongs to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a relay communication method and system.
Background
In communication systems, especially digital communication systems, initial time synchronization and frequency synchronization, also called frame synchronization, are key techniques. The base station broadcasts a frame synchronization signal, and the terminal acquires initial time synchronization and frequency synchronization with the base station by detecting the frame synchronization signal. Here, the synchronization mainly includes: the transmission time of the uplink signal and the downlink signal is synchronous, and the center frequency of the uplink channel and the center frequency of the downlink channel are synchronous. Through time synchronization and frequency synchronization, the terminal determines the time and frequency at which signals are transmitted and received to the base station. A communication system requires relays in addition to base stations and terminals. In many cases, because the distance between the terminal and the base station is long or the channel quality between the terminal and the base station is poor, the terminal cannot directly communicate with the base station, and a relay is needed to forward signals of the base station and the terminal to assist the communication between the base station and the terminal, so that the research of a relay communication method is of great significance.
In the conventional relay communication method, the method for processing the frame synchronization signal mainly includes: 1) the frame synchronization signals sent by the relay and the base station are not distinguished, and the relay transparently forwards the frame synchronization signals of the base station; 2) the relay and the base station transmit different frame synchronization signals. However, in the first scheme, since the terminal cannot distinguish whether the received frame synchronization signal is from the base station or the relay, the communication code modulation scheme to be relayed to the terminal must be the same as the code modulation scheme from the base station to the terminal, and the communication system and the communication method are not flexible. In the second mode, although the frame synchronization signals sent by the relay and the base station are different and can be distinguished, the terminal needs to detect the frame synchronization signal sent by the base station first due to different main contents of the frame synchronization signals sent by the relay and the base station, and then further detects the frame synchronization signal sent by the relay when the detection is unsuccessful, so that the communication complexity is high, and the access delay is greatly increased.
