Abstract:
A transmission protocol for a multi-way massive MIMO relay system uses linear processing, self-interference cancelation and successive cancelation decoding to significantly reduce the number of time-slots required for data exchange amongst user devices compared to that for the conventional data transmission protocol. As a result, the spectral efficiency of the system is significantly increased.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of communicating signals amongst a plurality of user communication devices across a wireless communications network using a telecommunications relay station, the method comprising:\n transmitting, from each of said user devices, a respective user signal to said relay station; broadcasting, from said relay station to each of said user devices, the user device signals over a plurality of transmission time slots, wherein said broadcasting involves broadcasting in each of said time slots a respective broadcast signal comprising a combination of said received user device signals, the method further comprising: receiving, at each of said user devices in each time slot, the respective broadcast signal for the respective time slot, and for a first of said time slots, at each of said user devices,\n removing, from the respective received broadcast signal, the respective user signal of the respective user device, and subsequently \n detecting, from the respective received broadcast signal, a respective user signal from another of said user devices, and \n for subsequent time slots, at each of said user devices,\n removing, from the respective received broadcast signal, the respective user signal of the respective user device, \n removing, from the respective received broadcast signal, the or each respective user signal from another of said user devices detected in the or each previous time slot, and subsequently \n detecting, from the respective received broadcast signal, a respective user signal from another of said user devices, \n and determining, at each user device, from the respective user signal from said another of said user devices detected in each previous time slot, and from the respective received broadcast signals for said first time slot and said subsequent time slots, the respective user signal of each user device in respect of which the respective user signal has not been detected.
