Abstract

In this paper, a novel framework is proposed to integrate spectrum (resource) sharing into multihop scheduling in relay-assisted systems. This approach provides an effective solution to minimize the effect of extra resources that are required in multihop transmission. Particularly, this approach can be combined with different topologies of resource scheduling to provide better performance in terms of throughput and coverage compared to benchmark non-sharing algorithms.
