The usage of relay-aided communication techniques in LTE networks: Layer 3 relaying

Growth in the mobile communication technology leads to defining the standard to introduce integrable systems. In this paper, necessary requirements determined by 3GPP for mobile communication relay technology has been investigated. In this work, the transmission and receive characteristics, relay types respect to using areas have been expressed based upon E-UTRA Relay radio transmission and reception: TS.36.116 Release 13. Furthermore, simulations are run to measure the bit error rate performance for signals received in both relay and mobile station.
