Relay device, user device, relay cooperative communication system, and communication method

摘要

The present invention provides a relay collaborative cellular mobile communication system and a communication method of the system. In the method, all relay stations or a base station and relay stations in a cell (i) measure all uplink signals such as uplink reference signals and random-access signals from user devices for obtaining reception qualities of uplink signals of the user devices at the sites and (ii) feed back measurement results to the base station. The base station determines a transmission route of a user device based on the measurement results. A site in a transmission route processes schedule control information and then transmits the information to the user device for performing, based on lumped scheduling of the base station, a downlink reception, an uplink transmission, an uplink retransmission, or a downlink retransmission. In an uplink HARQ mechanism, the site in the transmission route receives an uplink signal from the user device, feeds back an ACK to the user device, and transmits a processed uplink signal to the base station, or feeds back an NACK or an ACK to the base station. The base station judges, based on results of decoding and detecting transmitted data or feedback results from the sites in the transmission route, whether or not the current uplink transmission is successful or whether to adjust the uplink retransmission.
