Sumario:Increase in mobile network traffic led to a search for solutions to solve the higher capacity and coverage demands of users. In the meantime, technological advancement allowed the development of new technologies to fulfil increasing mobile traffic demands. To overcome these demands, a Beyond 5G scenario with user equipment taking an active role in the Radio Access Network is presented. A measurement campaign is performed using current Long Term Evolution technology, and 5G New Radio technology with a relay station to compare the performances of both technologies and assess the gains from 5G New Radio relay capabilities. Achieved benefits at the end of the measurement campaign are highly dependent on the location of the involved UEs, and the most significant gains are observed in the uplink.
