Enhancing Cell Edge Performance in Cellular Mobile System

Cell edge effect has been recently paid much attention in the development of new mobile communication systems because it can cause serious performance degradation in the cell edge. The cell edge problem is essentially due to non-uniform distribution of the radio power of cellular systems. It can be softened to a certain extent by using new radio architecture called distributed antenna system (DAS). The objective is to tackle the shortcomings due to the cell edge effects in a cellular mobile system by suitably changing the existing collocated antenna system (CAS) to a distributed antenna system (DAS) and reduce the inter-Cell Interference (ICI) using Base station cooperation. The performance analysis namely bit error rate (BER), spectral efficiency, throughput and capacity were performed and the results are shown.
