Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A distributed antenna system, where antennas of a base station are spatially distributed over the cell, can improve throughput at the cell edge compared to a centralized antenna system but reduces peak throughput. Therefore, it is expected that we can obtain higher throughput by increasing the number of antennas per remote antenna unit. In general, we need to send as many pilot sequences as transmit antennas to estimate channel state information and thus transmission efficiency degrades. In this paper, we present a novel system where we distribute the same signal to several antennas to increase the number of antennas without increasing the number of pilot sequences. We show the throughput improvement with signal distribution and evaluate the effect of weighted signal distribution.
