Abstract:

To deal with complex indoor wireless environments and high throughput requirements, deployment of indoor relay networks is investigated. A mathematical model is established for large office buildings, with adaptively changed parameters are adaptive to meet the practical conditions. As an example, relay network deployment in an indoor scenario with a large local environment is considered. With the proposed model, the number of access points, the locations of deployment, and the selection of relay work modes are derived based on the system performance requirements. The simulation results show that deploying relay stations in the studied environment can effectively improve the system throughput and coverage. Taking both systemperformance and network-cost into account, one base station and four amplify-forward relay stations can form an ideal deployment.
