LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system, LTE-A (LTE Advanced, the LTE enhancing) system, IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunication Advanced, senior international mobile communication system) all be with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) technology be the basis.Mainly the data mode of time-frequency bidimensional in ofdm system.As shown in Figure 1, Resource Block in LTE, LTE-A (Resource Block is called for short RB) is defined as the OFDM symbol in continuous 1 time slot (slot) on time-domain, and continuous 12 or 24 subcarriers on frequency domain are so 1 RB comprises
Individual Resource Unit (Resource Element is called for short RE), wherein N
SymbThe number of representing the OFDM symbol in 1 slot,
The number of expression Resource Block continuous subcarrier on frequency domain.RB is mapped in and then is called Physical Resource Block (Physical Resource Block is called for short PRB) on the physical resource.
(the Physical Uplink Control Channel of PUCCH in the present LTE system, Physical Uplink Control Channel) is used for loading ACK/NACK (Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement, confirmed/non-confirmed information), CQI (Channel Quality Indicator, the channel quality indication), SRI information such as (Scheduling Requirement Indicator, dispatch request indications).The PUCCH of different-format is used for sending and comprises: SRI, uplink ACK/NACK, CQI feedback, and perhaps different ascending control information such as CQI feedback+ACK/NACK, as shown in the table, PUCCH has different-format as shown in the table:
Wherein, PUCCH format 1/1a/1b's is multiplexing by frequency domain CDM (Code Division Multiplexing between different user, code division multiple access) code (Zadoff-Chu cyclic shift, the ZC cyclically shifted sequences) and time domain CDM code (orthogonal cover, orthogonal code) determines, promptly the Cyclic Shift by orthogonal code and CAZAC (Constant Amplitude Zero Auto Correlation, constant amplitude zero auto-correlation) sequence distinguishes different users; The multiplexing of PUCCH format 2/2a/2b determines that by frequency domain CDM code (ZC cyclic shift) promptly the Cyclic Shift by the CAZAC sequence distinguishes different users between different user.
As shown in Figure 2, the link that introducing relay (via node) in the LTE-A system has increased between new link: eNode-B (base station) and the relay afterwards is called backhaul link (back haul link or repeated link), relay and UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) link between is called access link (access link), and the link between eNode-B and the UE is called direct link (link direct transfers).
