A novel approach to clustering scheme in multi-hop integrated cellular and ad hoc network
Jing An · 2016
To increase the throughput and performance of the next-generation wireless cellular network, this paper proposes two clustering algorithms for integrated cellular and ad hoc relaying systems. In this system, we consider that all the available users are divided into two groups: One is the super group which locates in the cell central region, and another is the regular group which locates in the cell boundary. The super group is served by Base Station directly, and the Mobile Stations locate in the cell boundary are served by the cluster-head which is elected from the regular group. From the simulation analysis, this method can greatly improve the signal to noise ratio distribution of users, improving throughput and cell edge user throughput of the entire system.
