Project Title: Multiply-Detected Macrodiversity (MDM)
In the Multiply-Detected Macrodiversity (MDM) scheme, there is no selection, but all the received signals are detected in parallel at a number of base-stations and an algorithm is employed to maximize the probability of correct decision. Our results show that a considerable improvement can be obtained with this scheme, especially when the mobile is located close to the boundary between the cells. As boundary between the cells is exactly the region where the mobile-station is expected to suffer the most degradation in the received signal, the MDM scheme has a considerable potential to be applied in practical cellular systems to improve their performance. Moreover, to implement the scheme, no substantial changes are required in the existing cellular infrastructu
