COMMUNICATION SYSTEM USING RELAY BASE STATIONS WITH ASYMMETRIC DATA LINKS

摘要

A method is shown for improving the spectral efficiency of a communication system (100) that comprises at least one Super Base Station SBS (1) and at least one terminal (3-1), wherein at least one Relay Base Station RBS (2-1) is used to relay asymmetric up- and downlink data between said at least one Super Base Station SBS (1) and said at least one terminal (3-1) and wherein said asymmetry of said up- and downlink data is considered when dynamically allocating transmission resources to said relay link (5-1, 6-1) between said at least one SBS (1) and said at least one RBS (2-1) and to said link (7-1, 8-1) between said at least one RBS (2-1) and said at least one terminal (3-1).
