To satisfythe requirements, an innovative idea, integrating network elements with a relaying capability intocellular networks, is one of the most promising solutions.The main topic of this dissertation is a propagation measurement based study on relay networks.The study includes three parts: channel modeling, performance evaluation, and verification. Firstof all, an empirical channel model for relay networks is proposed based on statistical analyses ofmeasurement data.
