Power-Effective in the Cell Sectorization Using Wide-Beam and Narrow-Beam for Multi-hop Relay Network

摘要

Multi-hop relayis a significant topic in the wireless communication and it is provisioned in the 802.16j standards.At present,the major research on multi-hop relay is focused on the capacity,coverage,coordination,throughput,etc.But in this paper,a new concept about power-effective was discussed.Then,two power-effective coverage extension methods using two sectorized cellular approaches were introduced,i.e.,the widebeam three sector cell(WBTC) and the narrow-beam three sector cell(NBTC).Under such topologies,the consumption of power and optimal numbers of base stations(BSs) and relay stations(RSs) with respect to various user traffic densities were investigated.Finally,it is found that the performance of WBTC is better than NBTC.
