Since no additional spectrum resources are used, the in-band relay has the advantages of high spectrum efficiency and low deployment cost. In-band relay generally has a half-duplex constraint. Specifically, the relay node cannot send a downlink signal to its lower-level node when receiving the downlink signal sent by its upper-level node, and the relay node receives the uplink signal sent by its lower-level node. It is not possible to send an upstream signal to its superior node.

If the second node and the third node do not negotiate the timing reference signal in step S801, step S802 is not necessary, in which case the first node self-measures the timing reference signal of the third node.
- the first node determines a third network timing advance. After the first node monitors the timing reference signal of the third node, the third network timing advance is determined. It should be understood that, before determining the third network timing advance, the first node may receive the timing reference signal sent by the third node, and the first node uses the second node as the primary superior node, and continues to monitor the second node.

- the second node sends a handover request to the third node.
- the first network timing advance may be carried in the handover request, mainly considering that if the first node adopts the difference reporting manner, the first network timing advance is needed to calculate the third network timing advance. If the first node reports the third network timing advance to the third node, the first network timing advance is not required to be sent in the handover request, which is not limited by the implementation or the protocol definition.
- S814 and S815 are the same as S806 and S807, respectively, and will not be described again.
- the first node sends a random access preamble to the third node.
- a random access preamble is an example of non-competitive access.
- S817 The third node sends a random access response to the first node. Because it is a non-contention access, the random access process is completed by the random access response, and an uplink transmission resource is scheduled for the first node in the random access response. .
- the first node sends a third network timing advance on the uplink resource scheduled in the random access response. As described above, if the second node sends the first network timing advance to the third node, the first node may send the difference between the third network timing advance and the first network timing advance. Otherwise, Send a third network timing advance.
- the network timing advance between the first node and the third node is determined during the handover process, the process of network synchronization is reduced, and data transmission between the first node and the third node is accelerated.
- the first node determines a frame timing adjustment amount, and the first node sends a frame timing update to a lower node served by the first node by using a system message or a dedicated message.

- the determining the frame timing adjustment amount herein means that the first node is based on the reconfigured timing reference signal and re-determines the difference between the frame timing of the first node and the original frame timing.
- the frame timing adjustment amount is a deviation between the new frame timing and the original frame timing, and the deviation may be a positive number, a negative number, or a zero. If the frame timing adjustment amount is 0, there is no need to perform subsequent processes. If the new frame timing is before the original frame timing, it is a negative number, and if the new frame timing is after the original frame timing, it is a positive number.

Whether to transmit by system message or by system message update process depends on the protocol definition or implementation, and this application does not impose restrictions. If the notification is made through a system message update, the update process can last for a period of time, such as tens of milliseconds.
- the frame timing adjustment is notified by the system message to notify the idle state or the inactive state that the terminal can perform uplink transmission timing update, otherwise it will affect their uplink transmission, especially the uplink of the inactive terminal. send.
- the system message includes frame timing update information, and the frame timing update information includes a frame timing adjustment amount of the first node.

If the MAC CE is sent, the MAC address of the frame timing adjustment amount needs to be redefined. CE, the specific definition can refer to the timing advance amount, this application does not impose constraints.
- the terminal adjusts an uplink transmission timing advance amount. After receiving the system message indicating the frame timing update or the frame timing adjustment dedicated message, the terminal adjusts the uplink transmission timing advance amount. Specifically, the timing advance amount of the new uplink transmission can be obtained by adding the frame timing adjustment amount in the frame timing update information and the timing advance amount of the uplink transmission already existing by the terminal. It should be understood that, since the frame timing adjustment amount is an offset from the original frame timing, and the terminal determines the timing reference by using the downlink reception, the downlink reception timing of the terminal is changed due to the change of the frame timing, and the timing change is The terminal can detect, and therefore, the downlink reception timing is obtained depending on the terminal detecting the downlink synchronization signal.
- the second node and the third node may have the same function, that is, the second node also includes the function of the third node, and the third node also includes the function of the second node.
