SCHEDULING METHOD FOR MULTI-HOP RELAY NETWORKS

摘要

A CENTRALIZED SCHEDULING METHOD FOR REDUCING END-TO-END DELAY IN A MULTI-HOP RELAY WIRELESS NETWORK COMPRISING: TRANSMITTING BANDWIDTH AVAILABILITY DATA OF THE WIRELESS NETWORK FROM A BASE STATION TO A RELAY STATION IN BETWEEN PREDETERMINED INTERVALS; AND RESPONDING A BANDWIDTH REQUEST FROM A MOBILE STATION BY THE RELAY STATION IMMEDIATELY USING THE TRANSMITTED BANDWIDTH AVAILABILITY DATA; WHEREIN THE BANDWIDTH REQUEST IS GRANTED OR VICE VERSA BY THE RELAY STATION PRIOR TO EXPIRY OF THE TRANSMITTED DATA.
