Intelligent relaying to reduce power consumption in mobile telephony

The main goal of the project is to minimize the power consumption. Power efficiency is necessary to lengthen the battery lifetime in the portable systems, as well as to reduce the operational costs and the environmental impact of stationary systems. This paper examines a new technique to enable power savings at the MT. The key idea is to split the connection between the MT and BS at an appropriate intermediary (another MT). Therefore, on the reverse link, the MT transmits to the intermediary and the intermediary forwards the call to the BS.
