Abstract

Relay devices can significantly overcome signal blockage and propagation loss characteristics of millimeter wave based wireless personal area networks (WPANs). In this paper, we consider inter and intra-group communication scenarios and proposed two relay selection schemes for each case. Furthermore, outage probability analysis is provided and is utilized to compare our proposed schemes with direct transmission and fixed node relay scheme. Simulation results show that our proposed schemes significantly improve outage probability and system throughput.
