This chapter focuses on relay‐augmented AeroMACS networks with relay station specification conformant to the IEEE 802.16j amendment. It provides an extensive coverage on characteristics, applications, classifications, and usage scenarios of IEEE 802.16j‐based multihop relays. A case is then made for the need to make use of multihop relays in AeroMACS networks. Three key aspects of MAC sublayer are considered: forwarding scheme, routing and path management mechanisms, and initial ranging and network entry techniques. The chapter examines some of the challenges that a system designer faces when considering the inclusion of multihop relays and IEEE 802.16j based technologies in AeroMACS networks. Instances of applications of relay‐augmented broadband wireless networks are briefly discussed. Radio resource management (RRM) refers to measurement, exchange, and control of radio resource‐related indicators in a wireless network. The chapter presents a simple analysis conducted for calculation of a raw measure of multihop gain.
