Abstract :
The Ad hoc Networking Over UTRA-TDD Protocol (Barnawi and Gardiner (2003)) (ANOUP) was introduced by our research group as a protocol to combine ad hoc networking with the fixed wireless infrastructure. The aim of that combination is to improve the capacity and coverage of the cellular system. In this paper we evaluate the impact of ANOUP on the system´s performance. It is shown that at a fairly good link capacity, coverage improvement of 100 % is quite achievable.
