Abstract :
We have considered the problem of providing greater throughput in packet data cellular networks. We suggest a novel cellular architecture, the multi-power architecture for cellular networks (MuPAC), based on multiple data channels used at different transmission powers. We discuss path selection mechanism in the context of multi-channel systems and MuPAC. We also offer solutions to problems faced in multi-hop networks: performance degradation at high mobility, pricing issues, partitions etc. MuPAC provides increased throughput compared to existing schemes like the current day cellular systems which can be classified as single-hop cellular network (SCN), and the multi-hop cellular network (MCN). We show using extensive simulations, that MuPAC performs well over a range of node densities, under high mobility, and under high leod conditions. MuPAC can also evolve from the existing infrastructure and offers advantages to both the service provider and the users.
