چکیده
In the scope of the REWIND European Research Program we propose a Multi-Hop Relay network architecture, based on the recently developed IEEE 802.16j standard with the aim of enhancing throughput, network coverage and capacity density. In particular, we provide an essential description of the Relay Station Software architecture design, mainly focused on the PHY and MAC layers architecture, by analyzing the essentials of the downlink and uplink data flows, on the basis of the corresponding relay node to be included in the wireless network.

Multi-hop relay network systems allow users to communicate with a base station via a relay station, such as WiMAX 802.16j and Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced. The overall coverage for the systems can be increased apparently and the throughput for the users will be enhanced by deploying suitable relay stations in such network systems. Considering a trade-off among the network throughput, the ...
متن کاملResource Management with Limited Capability of Fixed Relay Station in Multi-hop Cellular Networks
The purpose of this chapter is to develop a resource management technique to utilize resource efficiently in multi-hop cellular networks. Multi-hop cellular networks have been proposed as a way to enhance throughput and extend coverage (Cho & Haas, 2004). This enhancement can in general be achieved by deploying relay stations in conventional cellular networks. The advantage of multi-hop network...
متن کاملMulti-hop Extensions to Heterogeneous Access Network Selection
This paper evaluates an access selection architecture able to handle heterogeneous technologies. We establish a generic access selection algorithm, which assigns different weights to the constraints established by both the network and the terminal. In addition, we improve the traditional operation by allowing multi-hop extensions, by means of which an end-user may reach an Access Element (i.e. ...
متن کاملRealistic Throughput of Cellular Multi-Hop Relay Networks With Spatial Reuse
Multi-hop relaying can increase the data capacity of cellular systems by reducing path loss, mitigating shadowing, and enabling spatial reuse. However, the analysis of capacity in relay networks remains an open problem. In this paper we calculate throughput regions for some specific cellular multi-hop relay network topologies allowing for non-uniform traffic distribution. There is a trade-off b...
