— Placing relays around the base station (BS) to assist wireless communication is an effective way of extending coverage in cellular systems. This paper provides a quantitative a...
— Multihop cellular networks offer increased coverage and capacity compared to singlehop cells of the same size. This is not as huge as using more base stations (BS) instead of w...
— The demand for even higher data rates in future mobile communications systems calls for new techniques capable of improving the performance of cellular systems. One possibility...
— In cellular networks, relays and/or mobiles can cooperate to improve the overall system performance. For example, once the transmission from a base station with multiple antenn...
— The use of cellular systems enhanced by fixed relays has previously been proposed as a way to provide wide area coverage for high bit-rate at a reduced cost of the wireless ac...
