Question

One proposed technique to reduce outage probability is to use macrodiversity, where a mobile unit’s signal is received by multiple base stations and then combined. This can only be done if multiple base stations are able to receive a given mobile’s signal, which is typically the case for CDMA systems. Explain why this might reduce outage probability.

Answer 1

Answer:

This might reduce outage probability because multiple base stations are able to receive a given mobile signal at a time which lead to signal outage decrease or weakness.
