Abstract
The present invention provides a technical scheme for forwarding data packets from one or more user terminals in a relay station, and a technical scheme for decoding the multiple data packets from the user terminals in a base station. The relay station performs network encoding on copies of multiple user terminal packets from one or more user terminals to obtain a network encoded data packet and sends the data packet to the base station. The base station receives copies of multiple user terminal packets from one or more user terminals, respectively, and a network encoded data packets from the relay station, and performs joint soft combining and decoding on them.
