On the channel capacity of multi-hop virtual cellular network

Abstract

In the next generation mobile communication systems, high speed data services are expected. However, an unacceptably high transmit power is required. Multi-hop technique can solve this problem. To reduce the transmit power, while increasing the transmission data rate, we have proposed a wireless multi-hop virtual cellular network (VCN). In this paper, we introduce the multi-hop VCN for high speed wireless network and discuss the channel capacity performance of the multi-hop VCN.
