Uplink performance of generalized distributed antenna systems with receive diversity

Obstacles restricting wave propagation cause shadow fading, a common problem in wireless communication that severely degrades system performance. Compared with conventional microdiversity schemes, the generalized distributed antenna system (GDAS) can work against such fading more effectively. To explore its theoretical performance, analysis of an uplink GDAS using maximal ratio combining (MRC) and equal gain combining (EGC) diversity was done, and analytical expressions of the outage probability (OP) and bit error ratio (BER) were derived. A lognormal approximation method was used and the results turned out to be quite precise. This showed that GDAS effectively produces both macro and micro diversity gains, and thus is a very promising technology for future wireless communication.
