Description

中继传输的方法和装置 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及中继传输的方法和装置。
背景技术
设备到设备(Device-to-Device,D2D)技术是指邻近的终端设备可以在近距离范围内通过直连链路的方式进行数据传输,而不需要通过网络设备进行转发。D2D通信可以与蜂窝系统共享授权频带资源,形成统一的混合蜂窝-D2D网络。在该混合网络中,部分终端设备可以仍工作于蜂窝通信模式,即通过网络设备与其它终端设备通信,而部分终端设备可以工作于D2D通信模式,即通过与其它终端设备之间的直通链路与其它终端设备进行数据的直接传输。
此外,可以通过D2D中继辅助网络设备和终端设备之间的数据传输,此时,D2D中继与D2D终端之间采用D2D通信模式,而D2D中继和网络设备之间使用蜂窝通信模式。D2D中继使用半双工的方式接收和转发数据,并且在接收和转发的过程中进行模式转换。
现有技术中,D2D中继通过互联网协议(Internet Protocol,IP)层(即层3)中继D2D终端和网络设备之间的数据传输,对于接收到的数据包需要依次经过层1(即物理层)、层2(包括媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层、无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)层和分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)层)和层3进行解封装处理,并依次经过层3、层2和层1的封装处理实现数据的中继,复杂度较高,数据处理时延较大。
