Capacity enhancement of uplink channel through spatial reuse in multihop cellular networks

Abstract

Some multihop cellular networks use spatial resource reuses for concurrent data transmission in a cell. However, there are no fundamental resource reuse policies among multiple hops to analyze the capacity of multihop cellular networks. So, in this letter, we propose a basic resource reuse scheme by applying a general resource reuse scheme that is used for cellular networks to multihop cellular networks. Then, we examine the capacity gains of the proposed resource reuse scheme through mathematical analysis based on Shannon capacity.
