Teleportation of a qubit with two partially entangled qubit states linking three nodes as quantum channels isextensively studied via the usual ancilla method.With the method two realization approaches, i.e., the node progressionapproach and the global accumulation approach, are presented.Their resource consumptions, operation complexities,and efficiencies are evaluated and compared.It is found that the latter approach is better than the former one besides theerror is partially self-corrected.The latter approach is further improved so that two merits are resultant.The improvedversion is compared with a similar protocol [M.Y.Wang and F.L.Yan, Eur.Phys.J.D 54 (2009) 111].Their meritsand additional costs are exposed.
