Adaptive transmitted distributed antenna selection strategy in distributed antenna systems with limited feedback beamforming

An adaptive transmitted distributed antenna (DA) selection strategy in distributed antenna systems (DAS) with limited feedback (LFB) beamforming is proposed. By maximising the upper bound of ergodic capacity in DAS with LFB beamforming, the proposed strategy can adaptively adjust the number of transmitted DAs. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy achieves greater ergodic capacity than the strategy with a fixed number of transmitted DAs.
