Abstract
In the last few years, there has been quite an interest in multihop-augmented infrastructure-based networks in both industry and academia,
such as the seed concept in 3GPP, coverage extension of HiperLAN2 through relayers, user-cooperative diversity LMDS/MMDS mesh networks.
This White Paper presents an overview of the concepts and applications of relaying. Its scope covers different approaches of exploiting the
benefits of multi-hop communication via fixed or mobile relays:
- Multi-Hop Solutions for radio range extension in mobile and wireless broadband cellular networks (trading range for capacity)
- Multi-Hop Solutions to combat shadowing at high radio frequencies
- Multi-Hop as a means to reduce infrastructure deployment costs. (Relays can be assumed to be cheaper than Base Stations).
- Multi-Hop to enhance capacity in cellular networks
- Multi-Hop as a means to ensure connectivity in ad hoc networks is NOT in the scope
