Abstract

A relay transmission method and a network node are disclosed. The method includes: receiving configuration information about a relay link subframe, the relay link subframe is configured in subframes in a period equivalent to an integer multiple of one frame, where the relay link subframe takes on a specific HARQ timeline; and performing relay link transmission according to the relay link subframe. The relay transmission method put forward herein meets various constraint conditions of the LTE FDD system in the relay transmission performed according to the selected relay link subframe, and is backward-compatible with the UE in the existing LTE system.
