Ideal deterministic quantum communication tasks require maximally entangled channels. The reality is that the maximally entangled channel is inevitably degraded to a generally entangled one because of various decoherence mechanisms, seriously deteriorating the performance of quantum communication. In most cases, entanglement purification and distillation are utilized to improve the entanglement and to construct the maximally entangled channel. In this paper, we proposed an alternative scheme to realize deterministic joint remote state preparation using a non-maximally entangled channel. Instead of spending additional entanglement resources in advance for entanglement purification or distillation, only two non-entangled ancillaries are employed in this scheme. Whether the employed quantum channel is a maximally entangled channel or a generally entangled one, remote state preparation would never fail theoretically in this investigation. This protocol provides a feasible way for the construction of practical quantum networks.
