Energy-efficient Double Relay Communication Protocol in cellular networks

摘要: Network densification is a promising solution to increase the spectral efficiency of cellular networks that comes at cost larger energy expenditure. Relays have been proposed as an energy-efficient alternative network densification. However, deploying relays requires additional planning and infrastructure, which can be costly or even prohibitive for very dense networks. The Double Relay Communication Protocol (DRCP) [1] increases by combining spatial diversity coding principles. In contrast other schemes based on relays, DRCP does not require since it uses base stations relays. its potential providing has explored yet. Therefore, in this paper we propose power control mechanism DRCP, while still achieving compared state-of-the-art approaches.
