The Potential of Relaying in Cellular Networks
Hans‐Florian Geerdes, Holger Karl · 2004
Relaying is a protocol extension for cellular wireless computer networks; in order to utilize radio resources more e#ciently, several hops are allowed within one cell. This paper investigates the principle potential of relaying by casting transmission scheduling as a mathematical optimization problem, namely, a linear program. We analyze the throughput gains showing that, irrespective of the concrete scheduling algorithm, performance gains of up to 30% on average for concrete example networks are achievable.
