Abstract

This paper aims at describing the advantages of using relay and repeater elements in a wireless network and especially in a network based on WiMAX technology. Apart from a description of the relay and repeater entities, a comparison between them is presented based on computer simulations. All presented material is based on the findings and results of the FP7-REWIND project.
