Analytical Joint Processing Multi-Point Cooperation Performance in Rayleigh Fading

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) is a very promising transmission scheme since it permits interference reduction and cell-edge throughput improvement. In this work, we study the performance of the joint processing multiple antenna multipoint cooperation using the maximum ratio transmission (MRT) technique. A closed form expression of the outage probability is derived for Rayleigh flat fading channel model considering path-loss and constant shadowing. Analytical and simulation results are compared.
