A Base Station Smart Antenna System for CDMA Cellular

Adaptive antenna arrays can increase the capacity of wireless mobile communication systems by reducing cochannel interference. This thesis reviews current base station technology and examines the possibility of implementing an adaptive phased antenna array at a cellular CDMA base station. It is seen that a computationally simple beamforming system and direction-of-arrival estimator can signific...

Optimizing UMTS radio coverage via base station configuration

Due to the W-CDMA radio interface, the area covered by a set of UMTS base stations depends on the signal quality requirements, the power control mechanism as well as on the traffic distribution. In previous work we have proposed discrete optimization models and algorithms for locating base stations in UMTS networks. In this paper we address the general problem of optimizing base station locatio...

Optimal Base Station Antenna Downtilt in Downlink Cellular Networks

From very recent studies, the area spectral efficiency (ASE) performance of downlink (DL) cellular networks will continuously decrease and finally to zero with the network densification in a fully loaded ultra-dense network (UDN) when the absolute height difference between a base station (BS) antenna and a user equipment (UE) antenna is larger than zero, which is referred as the ASE Crash. We r...
