The cellular network systems are expected to evolve into Multi-hop Cellular Network (MCN). While a mobile terminal and the base station have a direct connection in a conventional cellular network, in MCN a mobile terminal may reach the base station via relays by using multi-hopping. The relay can be either mobile terminal referred to client relay or dedicated relay referred to infra relay that has capabilities like those of the base station. In this paper, we focus on routing mechanism in multi-hop cellular networks. In particular, we study routing performance metrics for multi-hop cellular networks which consider energy efficiency and the relay capabilities.
