Synchronisation scheduling method and apparatus Synchronisation scheduling method and apparatus / 2508613
Synchronisation scheduling method involves a lower layer network element obtaining multiple synchronisation sequences of a defined service from an upper layer network element with which the lower layer network element is associated. The upper layer network element processes data packets of the defined service according to a synchronisation sequence length, and transmits the multiple synchronisation sequences, which are a set of data packets with the same time stamp information, to the lower layer network element. The lower layer network element determines a transmission scheduling time interval according to the synchronisation sequence length and time division multiplexing period of the defined service. The transmission scheduling time interval is a common multiple of the time division multiplexing period and the synchronisation sequence length, and the time division multiplexing period of the defined service is 1/n of the period of a wireless interface connection frame number, where n is an integer; and as for the synchronisation sequence whose time stamp is set in the current transmission scheduling time interval, the lower layer network element transmits it in an available transmission period of a designated transmission scheduling time interval.

THE TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to wireless communications.

PRECONDITIONS OF CREATION OF THE INVENTION

Duplex frequency division multiplexing (FDD) and duplex time division multiplexers (TDD) are common circuits used in wireless communication systems. FDD relies on the use of two separate channels, for example, two separate frequencies. For example, the first channel can be used for transmission in one direction from node A to node b and the second channel can be used to provide transmission in the direction from node b to node A. As shown by this example, FDD can be used for simultaneous transmission and reception on two separate channels. Unlike FDD, TDD using one channel, for example, one frequency for both transmission and reception. For example, the first channel can be used for transmission in one direction from node A to node Century To provide connection from node b to node And uses the same channel one, which requires the host And the termination of any transfer on the channel before the node at The start transmission. When using a repeater, it conveys the information (e.g. data, signals, etc) from one node to another. For example, The node can act as a repeater for the site And, thus, that the signals passed from node A to node Century if node A is the base station, The node expands the zone of service node And the node Century In some cases the connection between nodes A and b can be carried out in accordance with the frame. Under the frame is meant structure defining the connection, and/or that includes the transfer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The subject of the invention described here refers to the direction of the configuration transport network communication between the base station and the relay station and in some implementations to specifying configuration transmitted by at least one of the ascending and descending lines between the base station, such as the base station is in the form of expanded node, and the node relay.

Figure 1 is a simplified functional block diagram of a wireless system 100 communication. Wireless communication system 100 includes many base stations 100A, each of which supports a corresponding service or the service area 112A-(also called cell). Base stations 110A-are able to communicate with wireless devices within their service areas.

In some implementations of the base stations 110A and 110S are used as relays, level 3 (L3) for base station 110V, which may be implemented as a base station type advanced site In (eNB - evolved Node B), consistent with the standards, including standards for long-term development (LIE - Long Term Evolution), such as 3GPP TS 36.201, "Advanced universal terrestrial radio (E-UTRA-Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access); the physical layer standard long-term development (LTE); Basic description", 3GPP TS 26.211 Advanced universal ground loops (E-UTRA); Physical channels and modulation, 3GPP TS 36.212, "Advanced universal terrestrial radio (E-UTRA); sealing and channel coding", 3GPP TS 36.213 Advanced universal terrestrial radio (E-UTRA); Procedures for the physical layer", 3GPP TS 36.214, "Advanced universal terrestrial radio (E-UTRA); Physical level measurement"and any subsequent additions and revisions of these and other series standards 3GPP (collectively called LTE standards). Base stations 110A-can be also implemented in accordance with the standard Institute of electrical and electronics engineers (IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) for local and Metropolitan area networks, part 16: Radio interface for fixed broadband wireless access systems, October 1, 2004, IEEE standard for local and Metropolitan area networks, Part 16: Air for the stationary and mobile broadband wireless access systems, 26 February 2006, IEEE 802.16m, Advanced connectivity, and any subsequent Supplement or revision of a series of standards IEEE 802.16 (collectively called IEEE 802.16).

In some implementations 100 wireless system communication may include connections to the transport network connection, such as connections 120 and 198, and the connection to the repeater access, such as connections 122 and 196. Connection 120 transport network connection used between base stations 110A-110V, while the connection 198 transport network connection used between base stations 110V and 110S. Connection transport network include the descending line, such as descending line 116A and 192, to effect a transfer of the base station 110V at the base stations 110A and 110S, and ascending line, such as ascending line 126 and 192, to effect a transfer of the base stations 110A and 110S to the base station 110V. Each of the compounds 122 and 196 repeater access includes the downward connection (for example, descending connection 116 and 118) to effect a transfer of the custom hardware and the rising of the connection (for example, ascending connection 126 and 119) for transmission by the user equipment to the base station. Although the base station 110A and 110S described as relay hosts, and the base station 110V described as the base station eNB-type, base stations 110A-can be configured other way and include, for example, transceiver subsystem cellular base stations, gateways, access points, RF repeaters, frame repeaters, nodes, and provide access to other networks. For example, the base station 110V may have a wired and/or wireless connection transport network with other network elements, such as other base stations, controllers, core networks, service gateways, mobile objects control, service support node GPRS (General packet radio service) and etc.

Custom hardware 114A-D can be implemented as a mobile device and/or stationary device. Custom hardware 114A-D is often referred to, for example, as the mobile station, mobile units, subscriber station, wireless terminals, etc. Custom hardware can be implemented, for example, in the form of wireless handheld devices, wireless removable accessory etc. In some cases, custom hardware can include processor, machine-readable data storage medium (for example, memory, storage, etc), radio access mechanism and user interface. For example, a custom equipment can be represented in the form of a wireless phone, computer with wireless connection to the network, etc. Although for simplicity depicts only two base stations and three user equipment, the system of 100 wireless communication can be implemented in any other number of base stations and user equipment.

In some implementations, and a descending and ascending lines are radio frequency (RF - radio frequency) signal. RF-signal may include information such as voice, video, image, packages of Internet Protocol (IP Internet Protocol), control information, and any other types of information. When using IEEE 802.16 and/or LTE, RF-signal can use OFDMA.

OFDMA is a multiplayer version of multiplexing with orthogonal frequency division signals (OFDM - orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). B OFDMA multiple access is provided by assigning individual users groups carriers (also called or tones). Supporting modulated by BPSK (binary phase manipulation - binary phase shift keying), QPSK (quadrature phase manipulation - quadrature phase shift keying) or QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation - quadrature amplitude) and transmit characters (also called OFDMA symbols), including data encoded using forward error correction code. In addition, in some implementations, the system is 100 wireless communications can be configured to a greater extent, in accordance with the specification of the standard system, such as LTE, or other wireless standards, such as WiBro, WiFi, IEEE 802.16, or it may be a proprietary system. The subject of the invention described here is not limited to use only in OFDM systems, LTE and LTE advanced or these standards and specifications.

In some implementations of the base station 110V can use LS-a relay for expansion of its service area and cell 112A for the inclusion of additional service areas, such as service area 112 VDC-C. L3-retransmission in some implementations may improve throughput and/or to improve the performance of boundary hundred. As shown in figure 1, when used L3-relay base stations 110A and 110S (each marked «R») are called L3-relay (or simply «repeater» or «nodes relay»), and the base station 110V called eNB (or «donor honeycomb», also called here «DeNB»). As provided herein, the term «rebroadcasting» is used to describe the so-called «opaque relay configured to perform a relay third level (L3) at the base station, although other types of relay (for example, level 1 and level 2) may also be used. As it was noted in the implementation presented in figure 1, base stations 110A and 110S are L3-relay nodes connected via connections to the transport network connection to the base station 110V, which acts as a so-called «donor» cell, providing access to the rest of the network and providing increased coverage area, however other implementations may also be used.

As noted, the base station 110V can be implemented as a base station type advanced site In (eNB) large service area 112A, providing wireless connectivity to one or more user equipment, such as custom hardware 114-C. Base station 110V can use the connection 120 and 198 transport network for expansion of zones of H2 In-service (which can also be called the honeycombs relay or simply honeycomb) and to connect to the user equipment in these areas 112 VDC-service via connections 122 and 196 repeater access.

In addition, the ascending and descending line connections transport network and connections repeater access may be configured to use a frame-oriented structure, which, as a rule, is defined in the standard, such as IEEE 802.16, LTE, etc. in addition, framing structure may include structure, which defines the ascending and descending line connecting the transport network. structure can have many configurations, but, as a rule, structure determines what and when transmitted, and also that when taken. For example, structure can determine distribution (which can be expressed in terms of time, units, symbols, OFDM symbol etc) for ascending and descending lines of transport communication networks 120 and 198. structure (which may be part of the whole frame) can thus provide ascending and descending lines transport network possibility of co-ordination of transmission during use duplex time division multiplexers (TDD), avoiding simultaneous transmission, which is unacceptable for systems based on TDD. In addition, structure can be part of a frame, which determines when the connections it is necessary to transmit and/or receive (for example, connections repeater access etc).

As noted, each of transport communication networks 120 and 198 includes the ascending and descending line. In addition, each of transport communication networks 120 and 198 has structure, which defines the portion of the frame for ascending line, of the frame for the descending line, etc. Also each of the compounds 122 and 196 repeater access includes the ascending and descending line and has structure, which defines the portion of the frame for ascending line, of the frame for the descending line, etc.

In some implementations to ensure the compatibility of user equipment standard Rel-8 can be used SFN broadcast media (MBSFN - multicast broadcast multimedia services single frequency network) with the aim of preventing the so-called «holes» when passing downstream transport network, so that during MBSFN- custom hardware (for example, custom hardware 114, 114D etc)managed nodes relay, does not expect to receive any data and CRS (character pointer to a specific cell - cell-specific reference symbol) in the area of data from the node 110A relay. Essentially, nodes 110A and 110S can use this hole, or space, to receive signals from the donor eNB 110V (DeNB). Configuration alarm for MBSFN-frame can be configured according to the specification Rel8, which provides compatibility with the user's equipment of standard Rel8. Moreover, for the transmission 126 upward transport network node 110A relay can use dynamic planning to prevent the transfer of user equipment 114 in the cell 112 VDC relay through the ascending line 126 node 110A relay (during this time a relay host uses a space for transmission on the eNB 110V through the ascending line 126). Under dynamic planning refers to a relay host that uses the method of planning for the prevention of transfer of user equipment. As a rule, a relay host can use the grant ascending line for transmission planning custom equipment in the ascending line, and in transport network relay host can also be configured so as not to send grant an ascending line in custom hardware (in this case, the user equipment will not transfer through the ascending line).

Below is an example describes the implementation of the ways to display the configuration transmitted through upstream and/or downstream lines transport network. In one implementation of DeNB 110V can use the so-called «General alarm relays», which is an alarm for all repeaters connected to the same e-NB, to specify time of resources used transport network connection in descending order (for example, configuration descending lines 116A and 192). This alarm can be RRC-alarms or contained in the control (SE - Control Element) MAC common identifier (for example, SI-RNTI (temporary ID of the radio network - system information - System Information-Radio Network Temporary Identity)), which proclaims that all relay hosts connected to one e-NB, can perform the decryption." DeNB 110V can send information to the General alarm relay for redundancy or configuration compounds 120 and 198 transport network (and, in particular, and descending lines 116A and 192), used by all nodes relay, such as nodes 110A and 110S relay, connected with (or controlled) one DeNB 110V.

In other implementations DeNB 110V can use the so-called «individual alarm relay» (i.e. each relay has a corresponding alarm to send information to a separate relay hosts to specify configuration descending line transport network (for example, descending lines 116A and 192). Such an individual alarm relay host can be done, for example, high-level alarm system, such as alarm radio resource management (RRC - radio resource control), the alarm medium access control (MAC - media access control) etc.

In another implementation DeNB can use the so-called «collective alarm» to indicate the time resources downstream transport network configuration descending line transport network, for example descending lines 116A and 192. Such a group alarm can be RRC-alarm or contained in MAC Council of Europe, which group identifier. In this implementation DeNB 110V specifies a group of one or more nodes relay. In some cases, the grouping is dynamic or . In each group relay hosts have the same configuration descending line transport network. DeNB 110V can send alarm information in a resource shared by all nodes relay, so that each of the nodes relay decodes its own alarm system, based on the information group ID. For example, a relay host decodes and processes the message, including the group ID that when a relay host is a member of this group.

In other implementation DeNB 110V uses semipermanent planning, which is configured as a so-called ' multi-semi-permanent planning» and/or « SPS», to configure the distribution ascending lines of transport communication networks 120 and 198 (for example, ascending lines 126 and 192). In the case of multiple-SPS uses one or more of multiple signaling channels control the first-level (L1) (for example, PDCCH-repeater) to activate the SPS templates.

In another implementation DeNB 110V specifies the bit matrix configuration transmitted upward transport communication networks (for example, ascending lines 126 and 192). Bit matrix is passed through a high-level signaling system, such as radio resource management (RRC - radio resource control), WEIGHT control etc. to specify the configurations ascending lines transport network.

Above was given a General description of and below provide additional information concerning the above-mentioned implementations flexible ways to display configurations ascending line and/or descending line between the base station, such as DeNB, and one or more nodes relay, such as nodes 110A and 110S relay when connections 120 and 198 transport network and connection 122 and 196 access to the repeater share the same frequency band (and hence the use of temporary separation).

In implementations, using the common alarm relay for display configuration descending line transport network (for example, lines 116A and 192), is determined by the total area of the alarm relay host for the transmission of information representing alarm, common for sites relay. This alarm indicates configuration descending line transport network. In addition, alarm, common for sites relay is sent DeNB 110V and accepted by all nodes 110A and 110S relay, which are connected to or controlled by one and the same DeNB 110V. This alarm can be placed in part descending lines 116A and 192 transport communication networks.

Figure 2 shows an example of frame-oriented structure, including MBSFN-controlling part of the frame 202 and area 205 General alarm relay nodes. Area 205 General alarm relay nodes can be configured as information items (IE - information element)transferred from the DeNB 110V one or more nodes relay, such as nodes 110A and 110S relay. The format of the alarm system can be compatible with configuration information MBSFN in accordance with the specification Rel8.

Alarm 205 General distribution repeaters may be defined to send through the physical broadcast channel relay (R-PBCH - relay physical broadcast channel), and, for example, the first available OFDM is a control character after the host relay can be toggled from the receive mode transmit mode. General alarm relay nodes can occur intermittently to indicate MBSFN-distribution for all nodes relay. In some implementations area 205 General alarm relays can reduce the burden alarm, because only one signal (for example, a message that is broadcast) for all the nodes relay connected to a single DeNB, but on the other hand, all relay hosts one DeNB have the same configuration descending line transport network, which in some circumstances may lead to additional consumption of resources.

In implementations that use individual alarm relay described above, DeNB 110V can send a message to the private repeater site to display configuration descending line transport network (for example, lines 116A and 192). For example, DeNB 110V can send individual alarm relay in the form of a message sent RRC-alarm or Protocol data unit (PDU - protocol data unit) control the MAC address for each node relay through R-PDSCH. The format of individual alarm relay can be compatible with informational element configuration MBSFN used in Rel8 specifications. Figure 3 is an example of the information element (IE - information element)sent DeNB 110V by RRC-alarm or Protocol data unit (PDU) control MAC on a separate node for indication of the relay configuration connection descending line transport network. For example, DeNB 110V can send configuration connection 116A descending line transport network on the site 110A relay and configuration connection 192 descending line transport network on the site 110S relay.

Implementations that use individual alarm relay, can cause great load alarm, as DeNB 110V sends separately individual alarm information for each relay host. This can be especially significant in the case where many nodes relay share a common configuration descending line transport network. In some cases, individual alarm relay can take advantage of various configurations descending line transport network, used by different nodes relay that improves flexibility and in some cases preserve resources for connection access. For example, considering the case when you want one for downstream transport network node 110A relay and one for downstream transport network node 110S, General alarm will require two descending lines for both nodes 110A and 110S relay (as General alarm does not distinguish between the two nodes relay). On fig.4 presented 1 and 2, intended for both nodes 110A and 110S relay. Additionally, both 1 and 2 will not be available connection access. On the other hand, when we use the individual alarm relay, you only one descending line transport network for each of the nodes relay 110A and 110S, as shown in fig.4. Thus, in the configuration of individual alarm relay unavailable for connection access is only one from each node 110A and 110S relay, and one is saved to connect access, if to compare with the common alarm relay.

In some implementations nodes 110A and 110S, United with (or controlled) one DeNB 110V, are grouped in one or more groups. For example, nodes 110A and 110S relay can be grouped as both host 110A and 110S relay are repeaters DeNB 110V. In addition, in some implementations, DeNB 110V can set the group of nodes relay dynamically or . Relay hosts of this group are configured with the same configuration descending line transport network (for example, 116A and 192).

Relay hosts can be identified by using a repeater. In addition, the group can be identified with a group ID. For example, DeNB 110V may include the ID of the node relay the message to the alarm configuration . In addition, DeNB may also include the identifier of the group in such messages alarm.

For example, in the case of dynamic grouping ID repeater (which identifies the relay host) can be included in the alarm message sent from DeNB 110V at the relay host to display the configuration descending line transport network (for example, lines 116A and 192). ID relay use relay node to recognize that the configuration destined for this host relay, and not to the other host. In the case of grouping group ID (which identifies the group of nodes relay) can be included in the alarm message sent from DeNB 110V at the relay hosts to display the configuration descending line transport network (for example, lines 116A and 192)that will allow the nodes in the group recognize that the configuration intended for this group and not for another group.

In some implementations area 205 General alarm relay (which has spread from DeNB 110V) may include the group ID, and alarm information for identifiable group, sharing, thus, the group ID, and alarm information among the nodes of the relay. In addition, each relay host can decode and process its own alarm system on the basis of the repeater ID and/or group ID. As noted, repeater ID and/or group ID can be included in the alarm messages sent from DeNB 110V at the nodes 110A and 110S relay (for example, in the header of the message alarm).

Group alarm can be implemented in various ways, although below are specific examples of grouping and a dynamic schema grouping. In the case of dynamic grouping, if traffic descendant node relay changes rather quickly, DeNB 110V can be configured for dynamic configuration changes descending line transport network to relay nodes. Dynamic grouping DeNB 110V dynamically groups relay hosts in accordance with the level of traffic relay nodes, but can also be used for other options and/or information for dynamic grouping nodes relay.

In the case of static grouping, if the set of nodes relay are slowly changing configuration descending line transport network, DeNB 110V can configure descending line transport network repeater (for example, lines 116A and 192). In this scheme, the nodes 110A and 110S relay grouped into predefined groups. Specific nodes 110A and 110S relay assigned and configured DeNB 110V less frequently in comparison with the scheme of dynamic grouping. The scheme of dynamic grouping usually refers to relay nodes that belong to the same group (which often change), so the relay host decodes the alarm system (for example, as shown in figure 5) to determine which group it belongs to. In contrast, the scheme grouping refers to the relay nodes that belong to a group that doesn't change (or changes relatively slowly or infrequently), so that the relay host supports the ID of the group received from eNB, and uses it to decode signaling (for example, figure 6). DeNB 110V can also configure the relay hosts group on the basis of information about the average traffic cell for the node(s) relay. ID relay and/or group ID can be included in the alarm messages sent from DeNB 110V at the nodes 110A and 110S relay (for example, in the header of the message alarm).

Figure 6 shows an example of the format of the alarm messages for 600 used for group alarm. Message 600 includes the ID of the 605 and 615 of the group and configuration information, 610 and 620. In this case, relay host belongs to a group which does not change or slow to change (or, for example, not often), and therefore relay host support group ID (for example, 605 and 615)specified eNB, and uses the group ID to decode or search configuration information elements 610 620 or in alarm. Configuration information items 610 620 or indicate the repeater configuration transport network.

In some implementations of the scheme group alarm described here can provide a more flexible distribution of configuration , when compared with the General alarm relays, and the advantage of reducing the load alarm when compared with individual alarm relay,

Below are two implementations that can be used for flexible identification of the configuration of ascending line of the transport network (for example, lines 126 and 192). For flexible identification of the configuration of ascending line of the transport network can be used multiple SPS or SPS to display the configuration ascending lines for the nodes of the relay. SPS is a way of planning, which reserves a series of frequency-time resources for the initial transfer of user equipment, the site e-NB do not want to use the descending line or grant ascending line for planning the initial transfer of user equipment.

In case of using multiple SPS, pre-configured many SPS-templates, and information SPS-templates for each node relay is signalled from DeNB 110V at the nodes 110A and 110S relay through the RRC-alarm. DeNB 110V also uses R-PDCCH for activation of many SPS-templates. For each node 110A and 110S relay many of these SPS-templates interpreted as reserved time resources for transmission on the uplink transport network.

On fig.7-presented two alternative paths for the activation of many SPS-templates. According fig.7, for each SPS-template for activation SPS-planning one R-PDCCH from DeNB on the relay host. For example, on fig.7 first R-PDCCH 752 used for activation of the first template, and the second R-PDCCH 754 is used to activate the second SPS-template. Thus, a relay host can interpret the joint SPS-template as reserved resource for transmission on the uplink transport network. Information on SPS (for example, the frequency of such SPS-templates) is signaled by the RRC.

In the case of SPS it is used to display the configurations ascending line of the transport network (for example, lines 126 and 192). In this second scheme is configured only one SPS-site template to relay, but is configured with multiple periods. Many time periods for the SPS-template will be signaled on the relay host DeNB by RRC-alarm. In addition, one R-PDCCH 810 to activate SPS-template. Then a relay host interprets SPS-template as reserved resource for transmission on the uplink transport network. On Fig.8 shows an example for SPS to host the relay. Under (multiple period) is usually understood as a time interval for the reserved resources, which has many meanings, for example, in the case of Fig.8 intervals equal to 10 MS 12 MS 6 MS etc. In Rel8 such an interval is usually always consists of a single value (for duplex communication with frequency division multiplexing) or pair of values (for some configurations duplex time division multiplexers).

For flexible identification of the configuration of ascending line of the transport network can also be applied alarm using the bitmap for configuration ascending line of the transport network (for example, lines 126 and 192). Alarm using the bitmap is based on the configuration descending line transport network in such a way that bit planes is possible(s) location(s) descending line transport network. Bit matrix is used instead of the usual index used together with MBSFN-configuration. In addition, the alarm using the bitmap be sent by RRC-alarm or MAC COE and transmitted via R-PDSCH. Table 1 below provides an example of the alarm using the bitmap.

Table 1

An example of the alarm using the bitmap for the allocation of resources ascending line of the transport network

Alarm using the bitmap:

UL-configuration bits transport network (24-bit): bit planes for descending line transport network (DL-downlink); 0 means no configure the relevant transport network UL displayed transport network DL; 1 means the presence of the respective transport network UL displayed transport network DL; maximum number of displayed transport network DL is 24; and

Bits periodicity (5 bits): equal number transport network DL; the maximum period is 24 transport network DL; these bits indicate how many bits in the «configuration bits transport network UL» are used; for example, if the bits indicate the periodicity of 20, only the first 20 bits in a «broken configuration transport network UL» will be used.

Bit matrix indicating the configuration ascending line of the transport network can thus display the provisions allocated as for the ascending line of the transport network and for downstream transport network. Alarm using the bitmap can build on this implementation, support asymmetric distribution and many sets of configurations ascending line of the transport network.

Figure 9 shows an example configuration descending line. This example uses full duplex frequency division multiplexing, and the indication of the ascending line of the transport network is the following:

UL-configuration bits transport network (24-bit):

010101000001000000000000

Bits periodicity (5 bits): 01100

Bits periodicity indicate that period is equal to 12 descending line transport network so that only the first 12-bit bitmap (which is equal to 010101000001) are valid. Figure 9 also shows what location ascending line of the transport network will be used for the uplink. In UL-bit configuration of the transport network each bit indicates the position of one ascending line, which corresponds to one MBSFN- (for example, when ascending line is n, then the corresponding MBSFN- is (n-4)). As in 40 MS, as a rule, not more than 24 MBSFN-, it should be set to 24 bits for the alarm. If the bit is «1», the position of the ascending line is configured as ascending line of the transport network, and if the bit is 0, the position of the ascending line is not configured for ascending line of the transport network. Bits periodicity, therefore, indicate the actual number of bits in the bit configuration ascending line of the transport network (for example, if the bits periodicity equal 01100, the actual number of bits equal to 12). The first 12 bits in the bit configuration ascending line of the transport network are valid, and now the actual configuration bits ascending line of the transport network has 12 bits, and a relay host will use only these 12 bits for the configuration ascending line of the transport network. In normal cases, the number of descending line transport network must always be greater than or equal to the number of ascending line of the transport network, to a bit-matrix associated with distribution downstream transport network, was of sufficient size for configurations ascending line of the transport network.

Figure 10 provides an example implementation of a base station 1000, which can be applied at the base stations 110A-C. The base station includes antenna 1120, for transmission in the descending line, and for taking along an ascending line through the antenna(-n) 1120. In addition, base station 110A-IN include air 1140 connected to the antenna in 1120 1130 CPU for control base station 1100 and ensuring access to and the implementation of the programme progress, stored in the memory 1135. In addition, the air 1140 includes other components such as filters, converters (for example, digital / analogue Converter etc), mappers, module fast Fourier transform (FFT Fast Fourier Transform), etc, to generate characters to transfer by means of one or more top-down lines and receive characters (for example, through the ascending line). In some implementations of the base station is also compatible with IEEE 802.16, LTE and LTE advanced etc., and RF-signals descending and ascending lines are configured as OFDMA signals. Base station 110A-FROM may include Configurator 1150 . Configurator 1150 can send and/or receive information regarding the configuration of a ascending and descending lines transport network, as described here.

Figure 11 shows the process of 1100 used by the base station is configured with the Configurator 1150 .

In step 1110 generated indication. The display can provide information to relay host on the configuration ascending line and/or descending line. The display can be generated using one or more of the implementation described here, such as the common alarm relay, individual alarm relay, group alarm, multiple semipermanent planning, SPS and/or bit planes. In addition, the display can be defined so that the connections 120 and 198 transport network descending lines shared the same bandwidth connections 122 and 196 repeater access (for example, using the duplex time division multiplexers).

In step 1115 generated indication is sent to the relay host. For example, the Configurator 1150 on DeNB 110V can send indication, which is made by one or more relay node, such as nodes 110A and 110S relay.

In step 1120 indication is taken by relay. For example, a relay host can also include Configurator (for example, the Configurator 1150 ), which takes indication. Configurator the relay node, thus, can control when a relay host sends along an ascending line (for example, along the lines of 126 and 192) and/or descending line (for example, along the lines of 116A and 192) transport network. In addition, the transfer can share the same bandwidth connections 122 and 196 access to the repeater using the duplex communication with TDM.
