description

This paper presents extensive dynamic simulations of the non-transparent in-band relays working in the distributed scheduling mode. The simulation results show that in-band relays can improve noticeably the spectral efficiency without acquiring an additional radio spectrum. Also, packet transmission delays become smaller. An important outcome of the dynamic simulations is that it is very crucial to choose a correct relay zone size where the base station and relay nodes exchange data. Otherwise, throughput fairness of the whole system declines. It indicates an importance of the relay zone size adjustment algorithm that the base station must run.
