I found one mistake in my code where the start of relay service and the start of applications was a problem so I changed the timing as per the applications. But now I am able to get maximum 97% of the packets and 3% of the packets are still missing. Plus I have few more issues like:
- The remote node I connecting to only 1 Relay node (thats with imsi 1), I have no idea why this is happening? Can someone tell me? Due to this when I try to scale up I still get can error of maxSl_dest reached which is 16 and I have 20 remote nodes.
- Is there a middle ground to switch on relay nodes? As I have 80 relay nodes and 20 remote nodes so if I keep the start of relay service as mentioned in the examples then the relay service would start for all the nodes atlest after 80s and if reduce the time for relay service then I lose packets. can someone provide the solution for this?
- I even observed a strange behavior, if I reduce the tx power of the enb to say (1dbm) I am doing this as all my nodes are close to the enb and I dont have a blocking model. In this case the enb cant choose relaying can someone explain what is the relation between relaying and the power consumption of enb?
- When I try to use Mode 1 for relaying I guess there is selection of relay nodes as the pdcp trace shows no change of IMSI. does the module support this?
- From the test of ue network relay file one can see the remote node can choose 2 relay nodes but can I tried to do that in a scale example I was not able to do it? Is it possible for the remote node to choose multiple relay nodes?
- I was able to calculate the reliability and latency of relaying with flowmointor, if the normal LTE the latency values are 19s but with relay the latency is around 40s can you tell me the reason overhead? And if there is a way I can trace the delay for the packet for each hops?
It would be great if some can reply to all or even some of the questions I have asked.
