Abstract

A data transmission and reception method in a cooperative communication system is provided. The data transmission method of a base station in a cooperative communication system includes: generating a first code word for cooperative transmission and a second code word for direct transmission to a mobile station; and transmitting a signal including one or more of the first and second code words to a relay equipment for cooperative transmission and the mobile station. The first and second words are independent from each other.

Claims

1. A data transmission method of a base station in a cooperative communication system, comprising:

generating a first code word for cooperative transmission and a second code word for direct transmission to a mobile station; and

transmitting a signal comprising one or more of the first and second code words to a relay equipment for cooperative transmission and the mobile station, and

wherein the first and second words are independent from each other.

2. The data transmission method of claim 1, wherein, in said transmitting a signal comprising one or more of the first and second code words to the relay equipment for cooperative transmission and the mobile station,

a signal comprising the first and second code words is transmitted to the relay equipment and the mobile station.

3. The data transmission method of claim 2, wherein the first code word comprises a plurality of code words having different indexes which are allocated depending on transmission times.

4. The data transmission method of claim 1, wherein said transmitting a signal comprising one or more of the first and second code words to the relay equipment for cooperative transmission and the mobile station comprises:

transmitting a signal comprising the first and second code words to the mobile station; and

transmitting a signal comprising the first code word to the relay equipment.

5. The data transmission method of claim 4, wherein, in said transmitting a signal comprising one or more of the first and second code words to the relay equipment for cooperative transmission and the mobile station,

the signal is transmitted to the relay equipment and the mobile station, respectively, using different frequencies or different transmission times.

6. The data transmission method of claim 5, wherein, in said transmitting a signal comprising the first code word to the relay equipment,

the first code word is re-encoded and transmitted to the relay equipment.

7. The data transmission method of claim 1, further comprising receiving channel information from the mobile station or the relay equipment,

wherein the transmitted signal is generated using the channel information.

8. The data transmission method of claim 1, wherein the relay equipment is a relay node or a base station of cells in accordance with Cooperative Multipoints Tx/Rx (CoMP).

9. A data transmission and reception method of a relay equipment in a cooperative communication system, comprising:

receiving a first signal transmitted from a base station, the first signal comprising one or more of a first code word for cooperative transmission and a second code word for direct transmission to a mobile station, and

transmitting a second signal comprising the first code word to the mobile station,

wherein the first and second code words are independent from each other.

10. The transmission and reception method of claim 9, wherein, in said transmitting a second signal comprising the first code word to the mobile station,

the first code word is re-encoded and transmitted to the mobile station.

11. The transmission and reception method of claim 9, further comprising receiving channel information from the mobile station,

wherein the second signal is generated using the channel information.

12. The transmission and reception method of claim 9, wherein the relay equipment is a relay node or a base station of cells in accordance with Cooperative Multipoints Tx/Rx (CoMP).

13. A data reception method of a mobile station in a cooperative communication system, comprising:

receiving a first signal transmitted from a base station, the first signal comprising one or more of a first code word for cooperative transmission and a second code word for direct transmission; and

receiving a second signal comprising the first code word from a relay equipment which cooperatively transmits the first signal,

wherein the first and second code words are independent from each other.

14. The data reception method of claim 13, further comprising transmitting channel information to the base station or the relay equipment.

15. A data transmission method of a base station in a cooperative communication system, comprising:

performing resource or time scheduling;

allocating resources or transmission times of links among the base station, a relay equipment and a mobile station in accordance with the scheduling; and

transmitting data to the relay equipment and the mobile station, respectively, depending on the allocated resources and transmission times.

16. The data transmission method of claim 15, wherein, in said performing resource or time scheduling,

channel information is used to perform the scheduling depending on a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of the link among the base station, the relay equipment and the mobile station.

17. The data transmission method of claim 15, wherein, in said transmitting data to the relay equipment and the mobile station, respectively, depending on the allocated resources and transmission times,

the data depending on the allocated resources are transmitted to the relay equipment and the mobile station, respectively, at different transmission times.
