Single-carrier frequency domain adaptive antenna array for distributed antenna network

In our previous study, we proposed a single-carrier frequency domain adaptive antenna array (SC-FDAAA) for the conventional cellular network. It has been proved that the SC-FDAAA can effectively suppress the interfering signals from other users in a severely frequency selective fading channel. In this paper, we study the SC-FDAAA for distributed antenna network (DAN) and two DAN SC-FDAAA schemes are proposed. They are, namely, distributed SC-FDAAA and unified SC-FDAAA. The performances of the two DAN SC-FDAAA schemes are compared by computer simulations and the results show that the unified SC-FDAAA has better bit error rate (BER) performance.
