Radio Resource Management for Ofdma-Based Mobile Relay Enhanced Heterogenous Cellular Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the radio resource management problem for the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based mobile relay-enhanced het erogenous cellular networks. We combine mobile relaying and data offloading scenarios to increase the capacity of the system and cope with the mobile data traffic volume that is increased by the number of wireless subscribers accessing mobile data services. We propose network interface selection, relay selection and resource allocation solutions for this scenario and show effect of relaying and data offloading on the system capacity and on the ratio of satisfied users. © 2013 IEEE.
