Abstract :
This research focuses on the architecture of a WiMAX Relay Station (RS) prototype, based on the IEEE802.16j standard. Non-Transparent (NTR) operation is implemented in Time-division Transmit and Receive (TTR) mode. The prototype is configured as a Single Unit Relay Station (SURS). MAC-based relay option is selected as well as distributed scheduling. The prototype RS frequency band of operation is 3.3-3.8 GHz.
