Design of a Quality of Service-Based Load Balancing Relay Selection Mechanism for Long Term Evolution-Advanced Systems

Serving as the fourth generation mobile communication standard, Long Term Evolution-Advanced provides various technical support to achieve high transmission speed. In particular, relays are an essential technology supported by the standard. Because a relay uses the resources within a communication system, user devices adopt the optimal relay method as the transmission pathway to optimize resource utilization. According to the quality of service required by various user applications, this paper fabricates a method for selecting the optimal load-balancing transmission pathway for user devices.
