Preface
Multi-hoprelayisconsideredasoneofthemainkeysforLongTermEvaluation—
Advanced (LTE-A) to meet the growing demand for coverage extension and
capacityenhancement.However,thesebenefitsofmulti-hopdependonthelocation
ofRelayNode(RN)whichmitigatesinterferenceamongthecells.
Thisbookconsistsoffivechaptersandisorganizedasfollows:
Chapter1givesanoverview,clarifyingtheissuesandmotivatingaspectofthe
research,togetherwiththeobjectives,andoverallbooklayout.
Chapter2providesaliteraturesurveyforvariousmethodsofrelaydeployment,
and updates the state of current developments and solutions in the field of relay
techniques, while evaluating the developments and solutions and critique of each
method.
Chapter 3 gives a detailed explanation of three mathematical modeling tech-
niques called Optimum RN Deployment (ORND), Enhance Relay Link Capacity
(ERLC), and Balance Power Algorithm (BPA) within LTE-A cellular networks.
ORND involves the mathematical derivation of the optimum RN location, an
allocation of transmitted power for each RN, the optimum number of RNs within
cell, the handover process, and the frequency reuse scheme. ERLC focuses on
performanceanalysisbyemployingtwoantennatypesintheRNtoenhancerelay
link capacity. At the end of this chapter, the BPA is illustrated to minimize the
transmissionpowerconsumptionforMR.
Chapter 4 details the results from mathematical formulations and compares it

Chapter 5 presents optimum location for relay node in LTE-A. This chapter
