Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for implementing relay in a wireless communication network, which method comprises: determining that a present-stage backhaul window for use in the backhaul of a present-stage service has started; and switching from a first frequency to a second frequency to complete the backhaul of the present-stage service. The present invention further discloses a repeater for implementing relay in a wireless communication network, which repeater comprises: means for determining that a present-stage backhaul window for use in the backhaul of a present-stage service has started; and means for switching from a first frequency to a second frequency to complete the backhaul of the present-stage service. According to the present invention, each repeater has its own independent frame whose length is the same as the length of that of the base station. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for network applications with high density and heavy traffic.
