Abstract

Optimum diversity combining in a wireless communications system using TDMA/TDD is considered. By the use of optimum diversity combining a receiving antenna array is able to suppress interference and thus the capacity of the system is increased. The results in this paper are obtained by simulations. In the simulations a DECT-like system is used as the TDMA/TDD system. The results show that in the uplink direction M-1 interferers can be suppressed by an M element array. However the downlink transmit diversity performance is much worse, due to the changes in the radio channel during the dwell time between the uplink and downlink burst. That is the reason why it is concluded that optimum diversity combining is only useful for a TDD system with a short dwell time
