In this letter, the influence of the downlink average ratio of the other cell interference to other-user interference in the serving cell (DARI) on the distributed repeater system (DRS) performance is analyzed. It is found that the improvement of DARI depends on a propagation path loss environment. Applying the computed DARI to a 3-RS DRS cell, as high as 13.9% capacity enhancement was obtained...

Yields of dryland (rainfed) wheat in Australia have increased steadily over the past century despite rainfall being unchanged, indicating that the rainfall-use efficiency has increased. Analyses suggest that at least half of the increase in rainfall-use efficiency can be attributed to improved agronomic management. Various methods of analysing the factors influencing dryland yields and rainfall...
