Distribution of outage intervals in macrodiversity cellular systems.

A general model for the analysis of outage intervals in mobile radio systems with macrodiversity is proposed. In a log-normal shadowing environment, reception diversity from two base stations is considered in the general case of different fading margins. Through a level-crossing analysis, the probab...
