- Abstract
This paper focuses on the downlink system capacity in distributed antenna systems (DAS). Due to the complexity of actual wireless environments, a composite channel model is established which takes into account three factors, i.e., path loss, lognormal shadowing and Rayleigh fading. Based on the channel model, the probability density function (PDF) of the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is derived. To facilitate the analysis, the distribution of the output SNR is approximated by a lognormal distribution. After that, by making use of selective diversity (SD) scheme for distributed antennas, an approximate analytical expression of the capacity for a mobile station (MS) over a given position is derived. Furthermore, considering the distribution of MSs in the system, a closed-form expression of the system capacity is obtained. Numerical results show that the closed-form expression can evaluate the system capacity performance of DAS very accurately.
