Abstract

We propose ad hoc routing strategies that improve throughput performance in the next generation of a UMTS system. We show that a hybrid network, where mobile terminals can communicate both with a BS and with each other, delivers packets more successfully than the conventional UMTS network. The number of nodes that can be supported by such a system is higher than pure UMTS.
