Relay is used in LTE-Advanced cellular networks to assist eNB(evolved Node Base-station) for coverage extension and throughput enhancement. Compared to eNB, relay is advantageous on both equipment cost and site cost. How to deploy relays to maximize the performance gain with a reasonable cost subjec...
