Abstract: The invention provides a device and method for inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) in a relay-assistant cellular network, comprising: determining, with respect to a sector, whether the sector is relay overloaded or neighboring sectors of the sector are relay overloaded according to load information of the neighboring sectors of the sector; enabling the sector to borrow relay resources released by the neighboring sectors of the sector if the sector is relay overloaded with respect to the neighboring sectors of the sector; and releasing relay resources allocated to the sector according to load information of the neighboring sectors of the sector if the neighboring sectors are relay overloaded with respect to the sector.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices for setting up connection for wireless relay network, wherein, mobile station utilizes the primary transmission path from itself and relay stations in the initial ranging and network entry procedure to send a request signal to base station. After the base station receives the request signal, it allocates a transmission path for the mobile station, and sends the information to the relay station on the path along the primary transmission path, and sends a response message to the mobile station. When the mobile station and the related relay stations obtain the corresponding response message and transmission path information, the signal sent by the mobile station is sent to the base station via relay stations along the transmission path.

Abstract: A relay method and device, wherein the control signal and the data signal which are in the same subframe are directly sent to a lower level device respectively by an upper level device and a relay function device. In one example, the relay function device transmits data signal using subscriber special reference signal to make the lower level device estimate an access channel correctly; in another example, the relay function device carries out precoding of the data signal correlative with the access channel so as to cancel the influence of the access channel, thereby make the lower level device receive data signal correctly. Retransmission control signaling is sent to the lower level device in each subframe by the upper level device to ensure the fixed sequential relationship of feedback retransmission.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of requesting resource from a resource allocating apparatus by a request requesting apparatus, a resource allocating apparatus, a resource requesting apparatus and a communication system. The method comprises the following steps: sending a resource request message from the resource requesting apparatus to the resource allocating apparatus; after receiving the resource request message, if resource cannot be allocated within a set time interval with respect to the resource requesting apparatus, sending an acknowledgement for the resource request message from the resource allocating apparatus to the resource requesting apparatus; and if the resource is allocated to the resource requesting apparatus within the set time interval, not sending the acknowledgement for the resource request message from the resource allocating apparatus to the resource requesting apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention proposes new method(s) and apparatus(es) used for request and allocation of uplink transmission resource in wireless access network, which enables the mobile terminal to use non-contention resources closely spaced on time domain to trigger or adjust reallocation of uplink resource, so that quick response of the base station to the resource allocation request of a mobile terminal is effectively realized, and the demand of delay sensitive service is satisfied.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing protocol data units in network devices of wireless networks are provided. In this solution, data corresponding to different logical connections could be carried in the same protocol data unit. As a result, the overheads of processing information in a system that is irrelevant to data are reduced, especially the overheads for MAC Headers and Sub-headers.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for identifying a connection, mobile station and base station. The method comprises the steps of: assigning a MS ID to the mobile station when the mobile station enters into the coverage area of the base station; and assigning a connection ID to a connection when the connection is established between the base station and the mobile station. With the proposed solution, the data overhead could be reduced due to short Connection ID instead of 16-bit CID in 802.16e, especially for VoIP traffic. In addition, due to adjustable bit-length of Connection ID, the tuple <MS ID, Connection ID>could flexibly support different numbers of connections while keeping overhead in minimal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for transmitting interacting data between neighboring BSs via a MS and a method thereof The system comprises a first BS which transmits the interacting data to the MS, and a MS which receives the interacting data from the first BS and transmits the received interacting data to a second BS that neighbors to the first BS. The invention also provides a communication system and a method thereof, wherein a MS communicates with a first BS using an established first communication channel, and the MS to communicates with the second BS using an established second communication channel. The system of the invention uses a MS within the overlapped coverage area of neighboring BSs to perform transmission of interacting data such as control information for coordination, so as to reduce latency required for interacting data transmission between neighboring BSs.

Abstract: A method and a device for data relay transmission in a wireless relay communication network are provided, in which, the relay station directly obtains corresponding egress CID related information based on input MAC PDUs, then generates output MAC PDUs including the egress CID related information, and at last, according to the egress CID related information, performs QoS scheduling for the output MAC PDUs, so as to output them in an sequence of QoS. The invention omits the steps of de-cascading, de-segmenting or de-capsulating the MAC PDUs in order to obtain MAC SDUs, and the steps of scheduling by category, cascading, segmenting, and encapsulating the MAC SDUs in order to re-generate the MAC PDUs in the prior art, and the invention simplifies the data processing procedure and achieves the goal of decreasing the relay latency.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices for setting up connection for wireless relay network, wherein, mobile station utilizes the primary transmission path from itself and relay stations in the initial ranging and network entry procedure to send a request signal to base station. After the base station receives the request signal, it allocates a transmission path for the mobile station, and sends the information to the relay station on the path along the primary transmission path, and sends a response message to the mobile station. When the mobile station and the related relay stations obtain the corresponding response message and transmission path information, the signal sent by the mobile station is sent to the base station via relay stations along the transmission path.
