Abstract:
1. A method for a Relay Node (RN) transmitting data, comprises: the RN acquiring scheduling information of multiple subframes scheduling, wherein the scheduling information of multiple subframes scheduling includes scheduling information of downlink multiple subframes scheduling and scheduling information of uplink multiple subframes scheduling; the RN receiving data on multiple corresponding continuous or discontinuous downlink backhaul subframes according to the scheduling information of downlink multiple subframes scheduling, and/or the RN sending data on multiple corresponding continuous or discontinuous uplink backhaul subframes according to the scheduling information of uplink multiple subframes scheduling; wherein, the RN acquiring the scheduling information of multiple subframes scheduling comprises: the RN acquiring a downlink assignment or uplink grant through a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), with the downlink assignment or uplink grant including the scheduling information of multiple subframes scheduling; wherein, the RN acquires the downlink assignment and uplink grant through the same MAC CE, or acquires the downlink assignment and uplink grant through different MAC CEs; and when the RN acquires the downlink assignment and uplink grant through the same MAC CE, flag bits are added in the same MAC CE to represent whether the same MAC CE indicates downlink assignment for downlink multiple subframes scheduling or uplink grant for uplink multiple subframes scheduling.
