The propagation of waves in the region between the heliospheric bow shock and the tangential discontinuity is analyzed. It is shown that the damping of waves is sufficiently small. Perturbations of the neutral hydrogen density induced by traveling waves may appreciably influence the intensity of the scattering solar Lyman-alpha radiation, if the length of the wave is of the order of 10 AU. In the case where the waves are caused by irregularities of the solar wind parameters, the characteristic size of the heliosphere may be estimated if the delay time of the variations of the scattered Lyman-alpha radiation relative to the variations of the solar wind parameters is known.
