Abstract

The present invention discloses a multiple users cooperative communication (MUCC) method and system. The main idea of the present invention is as follows: through multiple users cooperative communication between APs, data to be sent to a UE by an eNB may be sent to a support AP at first, and then the support AP sends the data to the UE; and when the support AP is in a poor network environment, the eNB may send the data to other APs near the support AP, and finally forward the data to the support AP through one or more times of forwarding between other APs. The present invention has a multiuser diversity gain without increasing the complexity and power consumption of the UE; furthermore, a laying cost of wired backhaul can be reduced and reliability and transmission efficiency of MUCC can be improved.
