Performance Analysis of Relay-Aided Cellular Networks

Abstract

Energy efficiency in cellular networks has been receiving significant attention in wireless communication, because of the importance in reducing the energy consumption and maintaining the profitability of networks, in addition it makes these networks “greener”. In the traditional cellular architecture, the urban cell topography increases the capacity along with the coverage require the deployment of a large number of base stations (BSs). This approach is cost prohibitive and also increase the mobile station (MS) transmission power. An alternative, relaying techniques are expected to alleviate the coverage problem and reduce the MS transmission power. To propose a geometrical model for the energy efficient relay station (RS) placement that requires only a small number of characteristic distances and is to estimate the maximum cell coverage of a relay aided cell, given power constraints. This proposed method analyzes the path loss model based on RS to BS link and it compares both cell coverage and energy efficiency using Decode and Forward (DF) relaying schemes in line of sight conditions
