Abstract: A BLE-Mesh device includes a controller, an RF driver for driving the transceiver adapted to be coupled to an antenna, and a counter. The controller implements an applications layer including BLE and Mesh Applications, and a BLE stack and a mesh stack. A redundant traffic suppression relaying algorithm is for waiting for a random time within a selected time window from W1 to a later W2 before attempting to transmit a first packet that has the first relay device's sender's source (SRC) address and a sequence (SEQ) number. If during the random time a packet with both the device's SRC address and the SEQ number is received, the counter is incremented from an initial count to a current count. After the random time elapses, the current count is compared to a Cthreshold value, and the first packet is transmitted only if the current count <the Cthreshold value.

Abstract: A combination of repeaters and relays is used to improve the data throughput for user equipment (“UE”) near the cell edge in a LTE network. Amplify-and-forward repeaters and decode-and-forward relays enhance the down-link and up-link, respectively. Relay assistance on the up-link occurs when the evolved Node B (“eNB”) requests a retransmission (HARQ) from the UE at which point the UE and relay transmit simultaneously in a cooperative fashion. The quality of the up-link signal received by the eNB is improved due to a favorable channel through the relay. An analysis shows that relay assistance improves the throughput for a cell-edge user when the average delay per data transport block is allowed to increase.
