  • Patent number: 9036533
    Abstract: A wireless communication system is disclosed. The wireless communication system comprises a core network, a base station and a relay station. The relay station transmits a first message with a system resource information of the relay station to the base station. The base station generates a configuration pattern according to the system resource information of the relay station, and transmits a second message with the configuration pattern to the relay station. The configuration pattern is used to divide the radio resource unit of the wireless communication system into a first set and a second set. Therefore, the base station transmits a first signal to the relay station through the first set, and the relay station transfers a second signal with a user equipment through the second set.
