Abstract :
The paper shows that relays as inherent technology of IMT-advanced system can provide low delays as required for future multimedia services. The results shown prove that the proposed relaying scheme is able to keep relay requirements on the air interface and to support delay sensitive high interactive services. The analytical results are validated by system level simulations, which show that the relay might become even more important for real scenarios in order to connect the user terminal (UT) on the uplink.
