Abstract
We focus on maximum ratio combining at each base station and switching between base stations as a simple macrodiversity technique, We obtain analytical results for outage (uncovered fraction of a cell) and bit error rate for systems using one or a combination of both techniques to cover a desired area, assuming a certain correlation model for the set of path losses of the links connecting a terminal to the receiving base stations. Outage probabilities are averaged over the entire region of interest to get an estimate of the outage fraction in the desired region.Keywords
