In the scheme that the embodiment of the invention provides, the base station is in the shared PRB of R-PDCCH, choose the Resource Unit that is used to send common pilot signal on the back haul link, utilize the via node equipment of this Resource Unit under this base station to send common pilot signal, RN receives common pilot signal on this Resource Unit, and carry out channel estimating according to the common pilot signal that receives, and then utilize data on the channel estimation results demodulation R-PDCCH, thereby guaranteed the correctly data on the demodulation R-PDCCH of via node equipment under the base station, reached the purpose of correct reception R-PDCCH.
Simultaneously, send the Resource Unit position that common pilot signal utilized according to base station in the LTE system by antenna port in the embodiment of the invention, dispose the Resource Unit that is used to send common pilot signal on the back haul link, can be on the basis that does not influence existing LTE system specifications, guarantee the performance of its backhaul link of via node Equipment Inspection, simultaneously can also its pilot-frequency expense of better controlled.
And, be in the shared PRB of R-PDCCH among the present invention, choose the Resource Unit that is used to send common pilot signal on the back haul link, and utilize this Resource Unit to send common pilot signal to RN, in other PRB, do not send common pilot signal, can when guaranteeing the demodulation performance of RN, save system resource to R-PDCCH.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification to the present invention and not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Like this, if of the present invention these are revised and modification belongs within the scope of claim of the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof, then the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
