During the conventional soft link switching procedure, the connections between user devices and their serving transmitters are maintained, so the conventional soft link switching delay is zero regardless of the number of transmitters.
The pilots are scaled to ensure that about one third of the total transmission power is dedicated to channel estimation regardless of the number of transmitters.
At the transmitter, regardless of the number of active subcarriers Na, the number of distinct symbols to be transmitted will always be N.
In addition, compared to space-frequency coding technique, CDD requires only one IFFT processor at the transmitter regardless of the number of transmit antennas while space-frequency coding requires the number of IFFT processors equal to the number of transmit antennas.
Finally, after each successfully transmitted MSDU, a new random backoff procedure needs to be initiated regardless of the fact that whether the transmitter queue is empty or containing an MSDU (ready to send).
The log-normal shadowing model indicates that, for a fixed T-R distance, the expected path loss is constant, albeit subject to signal shadowing, regardless of the EIRP used by a transmitter.
For the visualization purposes, a trend is removed in the right side of the figures.From Figure 7, it is evident that the compared schemes perform almost equally - regardless of the misdetection probability - for the transmitter.
Number of transmitter antennas.
All published epidemiologic studies of transmitter exposures have based exposure assessment on distance from the transmitter.
We can also obtain the link threshold that guarantees longer lifetime of the balanced scheme regardless of network size and that depends on the transmitter power.
Equation (28) represents the outage probability of the user device, whose location and current serving transmitter are x and i, respectively, regardless of the link switching situation.
