Abstract
Traditional single-hop cellular architectures fail to provide high and homogeneous quality of service levels throughout a cell area due to the strong signal attenuation with the distance. In this context, multi-hop cellular networks that utilize mobile relays and device-to-device communications have been proposed to overcome the physical limitations of conventional cellular architectures. One of the key building blocks of multi-hop cellular networks is the multi-hop routing of information from the source to the destination. This paper investigates the performance and energy signaling benefits of location-based multi-hop routing protocols. In particular, the paper demonstrates the benefits of a contextual optimization of this type of protocols in order to achieve a high end-to-end performance, while reducing the energy and signaling implementation cost.

The value of \(hops_{max}\) has been chosen to realize large multi-hop connections (not necessarily limited to \(hops_{max}\) hops). However, since realistic multi-hop transmissions would probably employ a reduced number of hops, other values of \(hops_{max}\) could be feasible.
