Abstract:Abstract-In IEEE 802.16j relay networks, time division multiple access (TDMA) is adopted for sharing wireless network resources while avoiding radio wave interference. Time slot assignment determines the degree of spatial reuse of wireless network resources and radio interference strength, which affects network performance. The relay network performance is also influenced by various factors, such as background noise level, path loss exponent, density of relay nodes, and transmission signal strength.
