Problems solved by technology

[0004] On the one hand, for the method for a single user equipment (User Equipment, UE), even if other enhanced communication means are used to improve the reliability and / or throughput of data transmission of the user equipment, such as Coordinated Multipoint transmission (Coordinated Multipoint, CoMP) to improve the reliability of the user equipment at the edge of the cell, or Carrier Aggregation (CA) to improve the throughput of the user. The disadvantage of this method is that once the environment of the user equipment itself deteriorates, the throughput of the data transmission of the user equipment will be reduced. and / or reliability will drop dramatically;

[0005] On the other hand, for the method of two user equipments, in order to solve the above problems, the concept of combined communication is proposed. Under combined communication, no matter whether it is uplink or downlink data transmission, it can be forwarded by other user equipments. Among them, the user equipment The communication between them can be realized through short-distance technologies such as WIFI and Bluetooth, or through long-term evolution D2D (Long Term Evolution Device-to-Device, LTE D2D). The method of Multipe Input Mul-tipe Output, MU-MIMO is virtual Multiple Input Multiple Output (virtual Multipe Input Mul-tipe Output, virtual-MIMO), that is, the base station (evolved Node B, eNB) schedules two user equipments on the same In order to realize MIMO transmission by sending respective data on time-frequency resources, the disadvantage is that the channel orthogonality of the user equipment is required to be good, and the receiving signal-to-noise ratios of the two user equipments at the base station cannot be too different, otherwise, the channel conditions are relatively poor. Poor user equipment will be subject to strong interference. Therefore, although virtual-MIMO has gain, its application scenarios are relatively limited and the gain is small
