Study on Relay System Performance of Simulation Platform Based on LTE-A

Relay technology is an important technical means to achieve a smooth transition from Long Term Evolution (LTE) to LTE-Advanced (LTE-A). Theoretically, the addition of nodes will improve the performance of the system effectively. While the relay is active nodes, addition of nodes become a new source of interference. Based on the LTE-A simulation platform, the effect of relay node on the system is analyzed.
