- the “MBSFN subframe used by RN as a backhaul” means that in the RN cell, control information specific to the RN cell is transmitted in the first two symbols of the MBSFN subframe, and the third and subsequent symbols are transmitted. In the region, it refers to an MBSFN subframe that receives a signal from an eNB without transmitting MBMS data.
- the backhaul line and the access line are accommodated in the same frequency band, and the backhaul line and the access line of the RN are divided and allocated in the time domain (subframe unit). To do.

- the RN transmits a signal such as cell-specific control information in the first two symbols, and switches from transmission to reception in the third and subsequent symbols. And receiving a signal from the eNB.
- the first two symbols appear to be interference, but there is no interference in the third and subsequent symbols. That is, the amount of interference changes between the area of the first two symbols and the area after the third symbol. Therefore, even if a UE is subordinate to an eNB, if an “MBSFN subframe used by the RN as a backhaul” is known for an adjacent RN, a symbol with less interference from the RN can be identified in the MBSFN subframe. .
- the UE since it is assumed that adjacent cells are not synchronized, when measuring the line quality of adjacent cells, the UE needs to receive for a relatively long time in order to synchronize with the adjacent cells. was there. For example, in order to obtain frame synchronization and subframe synchronization, the synchronization signal transmitted in subframes # 0 and # 5 must be received, so it is received for at least 6 subframes. There must be. However, between the eNB and the RN connected to the eNB, the backhaul subframe transmitted from the eNB and the MBSFN subframe used for backhaul reception in the RN need to be synchronized. Subframe synchronization is required.
- the UE connected to the RN only needs to obtain symbol synchronization due to a difference in propagation delay time even if the eNB connected to the RN is an adjacent cell, and does not need a plurality of subframes. Can be synchronized.
- the RN When the RN reports the position of the MBSFN subframe used as the backhaul of the RN to the UE under the control of the RN and performs CoMP between the RN and the eNB to which the RN is connected, the UE under the control of the RN In the MBSFN subframe used as the backhaul, the channel quality of the eNB, that is, the CQI for CoMP, is measured using the signals in the third and subsequent symbols.
- the RN notifies the UE under its control of the position of the “MBSFN subframe used by the RN as a backhaul”.

- the DCS to be performed for the UE under the RN where the RN exists is to transmit a DL signal from the eNB to which the RN is connected to the UE under the RN.
- DCS can be realized as follows.
- UEs under the RN can transmit information from the eNB connected to the RN to the UE in the “MBSFN subframe used by the RN as a backhaul”. Measure the channel quality (CQI of eNB). Then, the UE under the RN feeds back the channel quality from the eNB to which the measured RN is connected to the UE to the RN to which the UE is connected.
- CQI of eNB channel quality of eNB
- the RN to which the UE is connected uses the channel quality information that has been fed back to control to transmit data from the eNB to the UE under its control in the “MBSFN subframe used by the RN as a backhaul”. Also, the RN to which the UE is connected transmits data from the RN to the UE under its control in another subframe. Therefore, even in a subframe in which the RN to which the UE is connected is an “MBSFN subframe used by the RN as a backhaul”, data can be transmitted from the eNB to the UE under its control. Throughput can be improved.
- JT can be realized by simultaneously transmitting the same signal from the RN and the eNB to which the RN is connected, and combining the signals at the UE.
- the UE in LTE-A notifies the UE of information distinguishing “MBSFN subframe used by RN as a backhaul” and “MBSFN subframe used in CoMP” from the RN. It is possible to distinguish between “MBSFN subframe used by RN as backhaul” and “MBSFN subframe used for CoMP”.
- the UE under the RN is the “MBSFN subframe used by the RN as a backhaul” and uses the CMP measurement method for CoMP described with reference to FIGS. Measure the channel quality (CQI of eNB). Because in JT, the received power of the UE under the RN is “power from the RN + power from the eNB”, so in order to perform channel control according to the combined channel quality in the UE under the RN, This is because it is necessary to accurately know the channel quality from the eNB to the UE.
- CQI of eNB channel quality
- the UE under the RN feeds back to the RN the channel quality (eNB CQI) measured by the CoMP CQI measurement method described with reference to FIGS.
- the RN controls to simultaneously transmit the same data from the RN and the eNB to which the RN is connected in the “MBSFN subframe used for CoMP” by using the fed back channel quality (CQI of the eNB). Therefore, since the reception SINR of the UE transmitted by JT is improved, the user throughput of the UE under the RN can be improved.
