Multihop wireless systems outperform single-hop ones in terms of coverage and capacity. The IEEE 802.16 standard, alsoknown as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), is one of the latest broadband wireless accesstechnologies over long distances. Mobile multihop relay (MMR) WiMAX networks introduce relay stations (RS) to improve range and performance at low cost. Providing multimedia capabilities to groups defined by node proximity is an interesting feature in tactical communications, which MMR WiMAX networks may support. This paper presents a dynamic group management scheme at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer based on RS position, with dynamic RS selection, suitable for military environments where communications between close nodes are prioritary. The proposal is evaluated analytically and by simulations. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
