Abstract

Future mobile radio systems will require a largenumber of compact and inexpensive base stations as wellas rather complex interference-resistant receivers. Toachieve low operation and maintenance costs, it is favorable to keep the number of siteswith costly signal processing hard- and software to aminimum, which, however, contradicts to just-mentionedrequirements. This contradiction can be solved by deploying remote antennas connected to centralbase stations. In this communication, basic concepts forapplying remote antennas to mobile radio systems areconsidered, and the beneficial exploitation of intracell macrodiversity is discussed.Simulation results for both a third-generation mobileradio system concept termed JD-CDMA (Joint DetectionCode Division Multiple Access) and the most successfulsecond-generation mobile radio system, GSM (Global System forMobile Communications), are presented.
