Abstract :
In 3GPP LTE-Advanced standard forum, Mobile Relay Node (MRN) occupies an important place. It is well known that cell-edge users suffer from bad Signal Level strength. To improve the signal quality and network coverage at the cell-edge it is proposed to use Mobile Relay Node. For the moment, MRN communicates to the UE devices in the vehicle. In this paper, we propose to implement MRN on the top of public transportation having known path and low speed to serve data hungry users outside the vehicles.
