Connectivity in mobile multihop relay network
Nurul Nazirah Mohd Imam Ma’arof1, Norsheila Fisal2.
Mobile Multihop Relay (MMR) network is an attractive and low-cost solution for
expanding service coverage and enhancing throughput of the conventional single
hop network. However, mobility of Mobile Station (MS) in MMR network might lead to
performance degradation in terms of Quality of Service (QoS). Selecting an
appropriate Relay Station (RS) that can support data transmission for high mobility MS
to enhance QoS is one of the challenges in MMR network. The main goal of the work
is to develop and enhance relay selection mechanisms that can assure continuous
connectivity while ensuring QoS in MMR network using NCTUns simulation tools. The
approach is to develop and enhance a relay selection for MS with continuous
connectivity in non-transparent relay. In this approach, the standard network entry
procedure is modified to allow continuous connectivity with reduced signaling
messages whenever MS joins RS that is out of Multihop Relay Base Station (MRBS)
coverage and the relay selection is based on Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The QoS
performances of the proposed relay selections are in terms of throughput and
average end-to-end (ETE) delay. The findings for the proposed relay selection in nontransparent
relay shows that the throughput degradation between low mobility MS
(30m/s) and high mobility MS (50m/s) is only about 2.0%. The proposed relay selection
mechanisms can be applied in any high mobility multi-tier cellular network.
