Relaying is one of the key techniques adopted by third‐generation partnership project long‐
term evolution (LTE) advanced as part of 4G cellular technologies, aiming to increase …

Abstract LTE/LTE-A networks have become widely exploited to address the increasing
demands of mobile traffic. Relay technologies have recently been introduced to fulfill such …

This paper addresses the problem of interference aware resource allocation for OFDMA
based hybrid hierarchical wireless networks. We develop two resource allocation algorithms …

In this paper, we study the multicast routing problem in wireless relay networks. Our
objective is to maximize the number of recipients of a multicast stream by deciding the …

In this paper, an interference-aware analytical model of IEEE 802.16 j systems operating in
transparent mode is described. The model can be used to determine the throughput gain …

Multihop transmission is deemed as one possible solution to improve transmit rate and
extend coverage of wireless cellular networks. In this paper, full reuse resource partition …

The radio resource allocation problem in wireless networks is a major research issue
because the resource is scarce, and it must be shared among multiple network components …

This paper studies the resource allocation problem in downlink broadcast services in the
IEEE 802.16 j WiMAX relay networks, where the objective to serve as many Mobile Stations …

This thesis focuses on the energy efficiency (EE) of relay-aided cellular networks, which is
motivated by the ever-increasing need to support higher and higher data rates, while …

The use of relay nodes to improve the performance of broadband wireless access (BWA)
networks has been the subject of intense research activities in recent years. Relay …
