Dynamic Zone-based Bandwidth-Negotiation Scheduling for IEEE 802.16j WiMAX NetworksLin, I-Chieh 08 August 2011 (has links)
In IEEE 802.16j MMR (Mobile Multi-hop Relay) networks, bandwidth is divided into two zones, access zone to mobile stations and relay zone to relay stations. To satisfy the requirements of Quality of Services (QoS) for different types of traffic between access zone and relay zone, we propose Bandwidth-Negotiation Scheduling (BNS) for BS and RS to adequately allocate bandwidth. For the purpose of satisfying higher-priority rtPS traffic, BNS can negotiate bandwidth between two zones if the allocated bandwidth is insufficient to meet its QoS requirement. Besides, BNS can satisfy bandwidth requirement for nrtPS as much as possible and it will also do negotiation to allocate at least minimum bandwidth if resource is not sufficient. At last, BNS may reduce the allocated bandwidth for nrtPS if PLR (Packet Loss Ratio) of BE is too high. Therefore, the starvation probability of BE can be decreased by earning this extra bandwidth from nrtPS. In short, the proposed BNS can adjust the boundary between access zone and relay zone dynamically and it can improve bandwidth utilization effectively. Through Markov-chain model, we evaluated the performance of BNS and compared its performance to a mechanism with fixed-boundary. Analytical results have shown that BNS can decrease the probability of exceeding delay constraint for rtPS, increase the throughput, and decrease the PLR for nrtPS when rtPS delay constraint is increased. Moreover, BNS can significantly reduce the possibility of starvation for BE traffic.

Coupling Measurements of an Antenna System Suitable for Relay-Aided WiMAX NetworkPetropoulos, Ioannis, Voudouris, Konstantinos N., Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Jones, Steven M.R. 04 1900 (has links)
Yes / In this paper two novel antennas, suitable for access and backhaul links, are designed, fabricated and tested for a Relay Station in a WiMAX wireless network. A single modi¯ed E-shaped patch antenna is described, presenting 10 dB gain over 12.4% bandwidth. This antenna element is used for the design of a 4 £ 4 planar array which provides experimental gain of 21.2 dB. The antenna system on the Relay Station operates at 3.4 GHz and includes one single antenna element for access link realization and an antenna array for the backhaul link realization. These antennas are installed in two con¯guration arrangements and tested in terms of their radiation performances and coupling e®ects. The simulated and measured results are quite satisfactory and in good agreement at which the maximum coupling between the access and backhaul antennas is found below ¡25 dB for all tested cases.

Yes / A novel beam-forming module based on Wilkinson power divider technology, including attenuators and phase shifter chips is designed, fabricated and evaluated to be incorporated in a Relay Station connecting it with the Base Station under a 4G network. The proposed module is a 1:8 port circuit, utilizing two substrates, providing approximately 700 MHz bandwidth over 3.5 GHz frequency band and less than −20 dB transmission line coupling. Moreover an external control unit that feeds the beam-forming module with code-words that define the proper amplitude/phase of the excitation currents is established and described. The presented module is connected to a planar array and tested for two beam-forming scenarios, providing satisfactory radiation patterns.

Multihop Concept in Cellular SystemsRangineni, Kiran January 2008 (has links)
<p>We are very thirsty in terms of everything to fulfil our needs in a sophisticated way, and this leads me choose the so called master thesis titled “Multihop Concept in Cellular Systems”.</p><p>This thesis introduces an approach towards the integration of relaying or multihop scheme in the next generation of cellular networks. In a multihop cellular architecture, the users send their data to the base station via relay station or with direct communication to the base station. These relay stations can either be the nomadic, fixed at specific location or users’ mobile station (i.e. mobile relay station). The main objective of this paper is to compare the difference between the relaying network architecture with different channel bandwidth as well as their performance gain. For this we integrate the relay station into conventional cellular networks using IEEE 802.16j (One of the standard introduced relay station concept in WiMAX) OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access is a transmission technique that is based on many orthogonal subchannels (set of carriers) that transmits simultaneously). The results show that under certain conditions the throughput and coverage of the system has been increased with the introduction of the relay station in to cellular base station zone.</p>

Optimal Relay Station Placement in Broadband Wireless Access NetworksVasishta, Anuj January 2012 (has links)
With the development of IEEE 802.16j multihop relay protocol, the requirement to enhance the network capacity in a wireless network has been met e ectively. In this thesis,
we study the capacity enhancement problem for a broadband wireless access network which
is achieved by optimal placement of Relay Stations (RSs) along with the presence of a
Base Station (BS) and multiple Candidate Positions (CPs). We present a mixed integer
programming formulation for the crucial task of RS placement. Weighted objective is also
explored to include preferential RS placement. The proposed formulations are solved in a matter of seconds. It is observed that with preferential RS placement, the same demand can be met with 73% fewer RSs with a slight, 6%, decrease in the overall network capacity.
Moving forward, the objective is broadened to combine and include joint BS and RS
placements for a given network. This model formulation provides better overall capacity
than combined capacities of RS placement formulations. Maximin objective is introduced
to distribute the excess bandwidth to all subscriber stations (SS) rather than assigning it to only one SS. With this approach, bandwidth allocated to each SS is increases by an average of 35.18%.

Quality Of Service Aware Dynamic Admission Control In Ieee 802.16j Non-transparent Relay NetworksKilic, Eda 01 February 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Today, telecommunication is improving rapidly. People are online anywhere anytime. Due to
increasing demand in communication, wireless technologies are progressing quickly trying to
provide more services in a wide range. In order to address mobility and connectivity requirements
of users in wide areas, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Wimax) has
been introduced as a forth generation telecommunication technology.
Wimax, which is also called Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), is based on IEEE 802.16
standard where a Base Station (BS) provides last mile broadband wireless access to the end
users known as Mobile Stations (MS). However, in places where high constructions exist,
the signal rate between MS and BS decreases or even the signal can be lost completely due
to shadow fading. As a response to this issue, recently an intermediate node specification,
namely Relay Station, has been defined in IEEE 802.16j standard for relaying, which provides
both throughput enhancement and coverage extension. However, this update has introduced a
new problem / call admission control in non-transparent relay networks that support coverage
extension.
In this thesis, a Quality of Service (QoS) aware dynamic admission control algorithm for
IEEE 802.16j non-transparent relay networks is introduced. Our objectives are admitting
more service flows, utilizing the bandwidth, giving individual control to each relay station
(RS) on call acceptance and rejection, and finally not affecting ongoing service flow quality in
an RS due to the dense population of service flows in other RSs. The simulation results show
that the proposed algorithm outperforms the other existing call admission control algorithms.
Moreover, this algorithm can be interpreted as pioneer call admission control algorithm in
IEEE 802.16j non-transparent networks.

Development of an antenna system for a relay-based wireless networkPetropoulos, Ioannis January 2012 (has links)
The proliferation of modern wireless networks increases demand for high capacity and
throughput in order to provide faster, more robust, efficient and broadband services to end users.
Mobile WiMAX and LTE are examples of such networks in which for some cases they have
exposed limited connectivity due to harsh environment. Relay stations are preferred to
overcome problems of weak or no access for such network devices, that are placed in specific
positions to maintain high quality of data transfer at low cost and provide the required
connectivity anywhere anytime. These stations should be equipped with an antenna system
capable of establishing communication between base station (backhaul link) and end users
(access link).
This thesis focuses on the design and development of a new antenna system that is suitable for a
relay-based wireless network. Planar geometries of microstrip patch antennas are utilized. The
antenna system comprises two antenna modules: a new design of a single antenna for access
link and a new design of an antenna array for backhaul link realization. Both antenna
specifications are compatible with the IEEE802.16j protocol standard. Hence, relay station
should be capable of pointing its radiation pattern to the base station antenna, thus to achieve the
desired radiation pattern of the relay station, a new beam-forming module is proposed, designed
and developed to generate the proper radiation pattern. The beam-forming module incorporating
digital phase shifters and attenuator chips is fabricated and tested. The optimization process
using the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm is considered in this study to assign the proper
phase and amplitude that is necessary to each radiation element excitation current, to produce
the desired steered radiation pattern.
A comprehensive study on the coupling effects for several relative positions between two new
backhaul and access link antenna elements is performed. Two new antenna configurations for
coupling reduction are tested and the simulated and measured results in terms of antenna
radiation performances were compared and commented.
