Exploring Relay Technology for 5G and Beyond Systems through the use of a Network Digital Twin

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...
