Abstract
In this paper, the downlink capacity analysis of distributed antenna systems (DAS) with multiple receive antennas in Nakagami-m fading multicell environment is presented. According to the performance analysis, and using mathematical manipulation, we derive the probability density function (PDF) of the effective signal to interference plus noise ratio of the system. Based on the obtained PDF, an exact closed-form expression of DAS capacity is derived. This expression includes the existing capacity expression as a special case, and avoids the error in the latter. Thus, it can provide good theoretical performance evaluation for downlink DAS. Computer simulation shows that the theoretical analysis is in good agreement with simulation result. Moreover, the increase of receive antenna and/or Nakagami fading parameter m can improve the capacity effectively.
