Abstract
A relay device first receives a data packet from a network device through a first link, and sends the data packet to user equipment through a second link. A protocol stack of the relay device consists of a physical layer, a media access control layer, and a segmentation function or a resegmentation function of a radio link control layer; a protocol stack of the relay device consists of a physical layer, a media access control layer, a segmentation function or a resegmentation function of a radio link control layer, and an adaptation layer; or a protocol stack of the relay device consists of a physical layer and a hybrid automatic repeat request function of a media access control layer. The first link is a wireless communication link between the network device and the relay device, and the second link is a wireless direct communication link between the relay device and the user equipment.
