Distributed and outdoor base station technology

What is distributed base station (DBS)?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. We propose a concept system termed distributed base station (DBS) which enables distributed transmit beamforming at large carrier wavelengths to achieve significant range extension and/or increased downlink data rate, providing a low-cost infrastructure for applications such as rural broadband.

Can a distributed base station provide broadband access to remote areas?

7. Conclusions The distributed base station concept presented in this paper is a promising approach for providing broadband access to remote areas, combining the benefits of massive MIMO with the superior propagation characteristics of large carrier wavelengths (e.g., white space frequencies).

What are the advantages of a distributed base station?

The distributed base station is cost-effective and enjoys high flexibility in installation (by changing the different combination of RU solutions) and thus, incurs much lower deployment costs.

How can a micro base station deployment strategy improve user distribution?

Gou et al. proposed an efficient micro base station deployment strategy by jointly optimizing the number, location, and power of micro base stations, optimizing trade-offs under different user distribution probabilities to enhance adaptability to various user distribution scenarios.
