Abstract
This chapter presents a concept and the related performance evaluation for a wireless broadband system based on fixed relay stations acting as wireless bridges. The system is equally well-suited for both dense populated areas and wide-area coverage as an overlay to cellular radio systems. A short introduction is given to the general topic of fixed relaying. The proposed extension to a Medium Access Control-frame based access protocol like IEEE802.11e, 802.15.3, 802.16a and HIPERLAN2 is outlined. A possible deployment scenario is introduced and the simulative traffic performance in a Manhattan-like dense urban environment and a wide-area open-space environment is presented. It is established that the fixed relaying concept is well suited to substantially contribute to provide high capacity cellular broadband radio coverage in future (NG) cellular wireless broadband systems.
