Transmission method and system for relay physical downlink control channel

A transmission method for a Relay Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH), comprising the steps of:

• an enhanced Node B (eNB) bearing downlink grant information of a relay node (RN) onto an available Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) symbol of a first slot of a pre-allocated Physical Resource Block (PRB) pair used for bearing the R-PDCCH, and bearing uplink grant information of the relay node onto an available OFDM symbol of the first slot or the first slot and second slot of the PRB pair, wherein available OFDM symbols in the PRB pair, other than the OFDM symbol used for the downlink grant information and the uplink grant information, are used for bearing a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) of each relay node;
• and
• the eNB transmitting the PRB pair bearing the downlink grant information and the uplink grant information and the R-PDSCH to the relay node;
• wherein after the step of the eNB transmitting the PRB pair to the relay node, the method further comprises a step of:
• the relay node demodulating the R-PDCCH using a Cell-Specific Reference Signal (CRS) to obtain the downlink grant information and the PDSCH of the relay node;
• wherein for each relay node, which only has the downlink grant information, under the eNB, the eNB bears the downlink grant information and the PDSCH of each relay node onto the PRB pair according to one of the following modes:
• after the eNB completely or partially interleaves the downlink grant information of each relay node, the eNB bearing the completely or partially interleaved downlink grant information onto the available OFDM symbol of the first slot of the PRB pair, wherein all the available OFDM symbols in the PRB pair, other than the OFDM symbol used for the downlink grant information, are used for bearing the PDSCH of each relay node;
• the eNB bearing the downlink grant information of each relay node onto the available OFDM symbol of the first slot of the PRB pair, wherein a second slot of the PRB pair is used for bearing the PDSCH of each relay node;
• wherein the complete interleaving refers that an eNB concentrates downlink grants or uplink grants of all RNs in series and performs interleaving with Resource Element Group (REG) as a unit or Control Channel Element (CCE) as a unit;
• the partial interleaving refers that an eNB groups RNs, only concentrates downlink grants or uplink grants of the RNs in the same group in series and performs interleaving with REG as a unit or CCE as a unit.
