| Summary: | This research project focuses on leveraging User Equipment (UE) as relaying devices to enhance the Radio Access Network (RAN) infrastructure, aiming to improve RAN performance in terms of capacity, outage probability, and spectral efficiency while reducing resource consumption. Extensive simulations and experiments were conducted using the Network Digital Twin (NDT) simulator, incorporating various models to replicate realistic scenarios. Initially, experiments were performed under a basic traffic model, which was later enhanced with a traffic model based on real Access Point (AP) traffic measurements. The findings provide valuable insights into resource consumption, network congestion, and link conditions, emphasizing the benefits of utilizing relays to optimize resource utilization, mitigate congestion, and enhance overall network performance. |
