Cooperative Distributed Antenna Transmissions

Distributed antenna small-cell network is a promising 5G network. In this paper, a comprehensive report of recent advance in the cooperative distributed antenna transmission (CDAT) is provided. Single-user space-time block coded transmit diversity (STBC-TD) and multi-user minimum mean square error filtering combined with singular value decomposition (MMSE-SVD) are presented. Also presented is blind selected mapping (blind SLM) which can suppress the peak-to-average signal power ratio (PAPR) and requires no side information transmission. The effectiveness of CDAT in the presence of co-channel interference (CCI) from adjacent macro- cells is confirmed by computer simulation.
