Link Adaptation for Relay-Based Cellular Networks focuses on the implementation of various link adaptation methods in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing/Multiple Access (OFDM(A)) Time Division Duplex (TDD) based two-hop cellular networks. The analysis and design consider infrastructure based relays. New link adaptive transmission methods that dynamically select the channel coding, modulation, forwarding, relaying mechanisms, and the packet size have been designed and evaluated for such networks. The selection among various schemes is based on maximizing the end-to-end...
