Relay has great advantages in low-cost and fl exible development options and provides an attractive means of augmenting network for coverage extension and throughput enhancement. In this paper
the author discusses the mechanism of Relay technology and analyses the implementation and effect on MBSFN subframe. According to the present developing situation of CMCC network
the author proposed the solution to extending LTE coverage in the scenario of GSM repeater. Through verification test in LTE network
Relay solution can promote LTE edge coverage rate of 129% and increase LTE edge throughput of 67%.
