Rural Broadband Access via Clustered Collaborative Communication

Satyam Agarwal, Swades De · 2018 · IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking

Summary. This paper proposes a cluster-based network architecture to deliver broadband to rural areas in developing countries. Multiple customer devices in villages form clusters and transmit collaboratively over unused television bands to reach base stations. The authors develop protocols to optimize network throughput and energy efficiency while minimizing infrastructure costs. Simulations show the approach is cost-effective, energy-efficient, and scalable for rural connectivity.
