"Wireless multihop relaying can provide a great improvement in systemwide throughput and coverage in a cellular system. However, since additional resources (time or frequency slots) and overhead are required to perform relaying, the addition of relays into a cellular system must be carefully designed for the system's specific geometry, topology, and propagation environment," scientists in Edmonton, Canada report.
"Maximizing the benefit of multihop relaying requires that the medium access control (MAC) layer scheduler be aware of physical (PHY) layer conditions. Multihop relaying increases networkwide throughput by enabling spatial reuse within a cell and by ...
