Abstract

Provided is a method for MTC in LTE-A. The method includes that pieces of MTC UE are divided into at least one cluster unit, each of which includes one piece of second UE as a cluster head and at least one piece of first UE as cluster members, wherein the first UE sends data information to the second UE through a PUSCH; after receiving the data information, the second UE forwards the data information to an eNB; after receiving the data information, the eNB sends DTG information to the first UE so as to complete data information transmission. In the meanwhile, a system and device for MTC communication in LTE-A are provided. Accordingly, the utilization rate of resources is improved when there are limited frequency spectrum resources, the burden of a base station is reduced and interference on uses around is reduced.
