DAS Systems
A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a network of spatially separated
antenna nodes connected to a common source via a transport medium that
provides wireless service within a geographic area or structure (the DAS
Forum)
Provide better coverage in environments like:
• Outdoor: Highways, Downtowns, Subways, Tunnels, University Campuses
• Indoor: Corporate Offices, Stadiums, Shopping Complexes, Airports,
Convention Centers, Hospitals, Hotels etc.
60% of voice traffic and 90% of data traffic from indoors. (ABI Research)
DAS systems with overall market value of $5.5 billion comprises 96% of
indoor systems (ABI Research)
DAS Concept was introduced by Saleh etal in 1987 as a solution for better indoor
coverage using leaky coax cable to simulcast the RF signal. (A.A.M. Saleh, A.J. Rustako, and
R.S. Roman, “Distributed antennas for indoor radio communications,” IEEE Trans. Commn., vol. 35, pp. 1245–1251,
Dec. 1987)

Why DAS is needed?
Indoor:
• Poor coverage in basements, higher floors (above 25 floors), elevators, inner rooms (due to wall attenuations).
• Large reflections from walls, roofs, tinted glass windows.
Outdoor:
• Other buildings block the coverage in dense areas like downtowns.
• To provide coverage to long Highways/tunnels.

Benefits of DAS (Chow, et al. 1994)
RADIO RADIO
Single Antenna System DAS
• Consider single slope propagation model:
d
• PT = Transmitted Power• PR = Received Power• C = Path loss at reference
distance• γ = Path loss exponent
• d = radius of the macro-cell• A = area of the macro-cell = πd2
![Page 11: Presented at: Wireless @ Virginia Tech 2012 Symposium & Summer School on Wireless Communications](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103007/5681434a550346895dafc5dc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11Ken Baker (http://morse.colorado.edu/~kkbaker/)May 31, 2012
Benefits of DAS (contd.)
Improvement in Coverage:• Area of coverage of single antenna is given by:
• Assuming transmitted power is equally divided between N antennas of the DAS, area covered by each individual antenna is given by:
= = …. =
• Therefore, total area:
• Thus, coverage is increased by a factor of:

12Ken Baker (http://morse.colorado.edu/~kkbaker/)May 31, 2012
Benefits of DAS (contd.)
Reduction in Transmit Power (Forward Link):For single antenna system: Assuming transmitted power is equally divided between N antennas of the DAS:
• Therefore, total area:
• Thus, transmitted power is reduced by a factor of:
• On Reverse Link, assuming that path loss is reciprocal, mobiles have to transmit only 1/N of the base station to communicate to a single DAS antenna. Thus power is reduced by a factor of:

Challenges in Studying a Multi-tier Network
Simulation study of the entire system is computationally infeasible.Ideal hexagonal grid model is not a good model anymore.Certain entities of the network are essentially random in nature.
e.g. the location of the femtocell BSs.

Motivations for considering a Shotgun Cellular System Inspired Model
Shotgun Cellular System (SCS): [Brown 2000] The cellular system where the BS placement is according to a 2-D homogeneous Poisson point process.SCS is a good model the femtocell BSs in the network.The SCS is a surprisingly good model for the macrocell network:
SCS provides a natural lower bound to the cellular performance.
[Brown 2000] The SCS model provides a fair idea about the actual macrocell network. In the strong shadow fading regime, the downlink performance in
an SCS converges to ideal hexagonal grid model. In the normal shadow fading regime, the gap between the
downlink performance in an SCS and in an ideal hexagonal grid model is small.

Multi-tier Networks: Important Implications
Inclusion of the additional tiers of wireless network: Does not affect the success probability.Improves the success probability when
There is no shadow fading.
The arbitrary shadow fading distribution is such that For example, log-normal shadow fading factors with 0 mean and standard deviation satisfy the above condition.

Madhusudhanan, et. al Conclusions
We have studied the and success probability of a multi-tier network by systematically reducing the network to equivalent networks and finally to a single-tier network that we understand well.As a result, for a multi-tier network where the SINR thresholds of all the tiers are the same, we have
Derived the semi-analytical expression for the and success probabilities for SINR threshold .
Obtained a simple closed form expression for success probability for SINR threshold
The above result matches the results obtained by [Dhillon, Ganti, Baccelli, Andrews, 2011] and [Mukherjee, 2011] who approached the problem in different ways with results restricted only to Rayleigh fading distributions.
Further, we have derived an approximation for the success probability and show the approximation is tight.
All the results derived in the paper hold for arbitrary fading distribution.
