Abstract

Macrodiversity is one of the latest technologies in the wireless communication system, on which research is still continuing. It involves receiving and combining independently fading signal paths to lower the probability of finding a desired signal in a deep fade at any on instant. Independently fading signal paths can be received by the use of different times, frequencies, spatial locations, spatial angles or directions, and signal polarities. In macrodiversity technique, multiple antennas are employed together at the receiver end and form a branch of diversity combiner. This combiner has the ability to increase the power of downlink and uplink capacity of the wireless communications systems. This project will concerns the performance of various macrodiversity combining techniques, mainly Selection combining (SC), Equal Gain Combining (EGC), and Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) along with the different types of fading channel mainly large scale fading (Shadowing) channels.
