| Sumario: | This Master's Thesis is encompassed in a vision of a Beyond 5G (B5G) scenario, where the User Equipment is exploited not only to satisfy the specific needs of the user, but also to augment the Radio Access Network (RAN) infrastructure. The research work has consisted in studying and analysing the deployment of a network using UEs as relaying devices in order to achieve an augmented RAN that will be able to offer a better performance to the users, including higher spectral efficiency, and lower outage probability. The conducted studies have consisted in performing variations on the configuration parameters of the network, as well as characterising the relay nodes, by means of simulations. The obtained results have then been analysed, evaluating them in terms of spectral efficiency and outage probability, and a specific relay activation strategy has been proposed, which has proven to introduce improvements in the network performance. |
