The Impact of Interference in a Distributed Base Station Scheme Managed by an Agent System
Philippe Leroux, Sébastien Roy, Jean‐Yves Chouinard · 2007
Traditional cellular communication schemes are based on one to one wireless links. In a distributed base station (DBS) scheme, more then one station can relay the same mobile. This paper studies the impact of channel interference on the behavior of an agent system which manages the multiple connections at the DBS. It is shown that DBS can provide an important gain in diversity, accommodating more mobiles with a given QoS despite interference, provided that some mild conditions on network topology are met. It is also established that the agent system is both stable and efficient.
