Evaluation of the distributed MISO gain for mobile broadcast planning in real scenarios

This paper analyzes the impact produced by the use of distributed MISO diversity techniques on the network planning for mobile broadcasting services, compared with the rest of variables considered in the design of these networks. In order to do that, we have evaluated the results obtained from the simulation of a wide variety of real cases of study, where different deployment topologies and different types of service scenarios have been considered. For all the cases analyzed, the results show evidence that the use of distributed MISO techniques does not provide a significant improvement in the coverage and a low impact compared to the rest of variables considered in the network design.
