Relay Routing and Scheduling for Capacity Improvement in Cellular WLANs
Seble Mengesha, Holger Karl Fachgebiet Telekommunikationsnetze · 2003
In classical infrastructure-based wireless systems, all mobile terminals communicate directly with the access point. In such systems, the transmission capacity, i.e., the amount of traffic successfully communicated to/from the access point, is important. This paper studies the possibility to increase this capacity by using mobile terminals as intermediate relays. These relays reduce the communication distance and hence mobile terminals can send their traffic at a maximum data rate while maintaining a target packet error rate and transmission power limit. We present
