METHOD, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, TANGIBLE MACHINE-READABLE MEDIUM, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST PACKETS BASED ON A MULTI-HOP RELAY STANDARD

摘要

A method, a wireless communication system, a tangible machine-readable mediu m, and a communication apparatus for transmitting uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) packets based on a multi-hop relay standard are provided. The wireless communication system comprises a BS, an SS, and a plurality of RSs. The RS transmits a plurality of first uplink HARQ packets to the RSs. After receiving one of the first uplink HARQ packets, at least one of the RSs replies a first ACK to the BS and retrieves a second uplink HARQ packet in the first uplink HARQ packet. Then, the at least one of the RSs transmits the second uplink HARQ packet to the BS. And the second uplink HARQ packet is the same as a part of one of the first uplink HARQ packets.
