Technical background
Wireless multi-hop is at the network deployment initial stage from the Backhaul network, at the environment that cable resource relatively lacks, and a kind of relatively special networks architecture that is proposed.Wireless multi-hop is the fast network arrangement to capture user resources from the main purpose of Backhaul network, and it can increase covering effectively, and the chance that enters wireless access market fast is provided for emerging operator.
In general wireless cellular network, base station (BS) directly has access to spider lines via wire link.And at wireless multi-hop in the Backhaul network, BS directly has access to spider lines via wire link, but needs could finally to have access to spider lines through a plurality of wireless Backhaul links.
As shown in Figure 1, a wireless n jumps from the Backhaul network and is made up of n base station and n Backhaul station (BHS), and a plurality of subscriber station SS in this base station range can be served in each base station.The base station is connected with the Backhaul station by Radio Link, and BHS inserts next by wire link again and jumps base station or final cable network.Here, BHS can with one independently the node network element exist, the internal module that also can be used as base station system exists.
Be without loss of generality, in the following discussion, Backhaul station (BHS) exists with the form of node network element independently.
Wireless multi-hop is from the special character of Backhaul network: BHS itself is a subscriber station of base station, comes access network for this base station provides wireless Backhaul link again simultaneously.
