Generalized distributed multicell architecture can take full advantage of multi-antenna technologies and solve the problem of frequent handover caused by higher carrier frequencies. Group handover, the handover policy based on the architecture, can eliminate the cell edge effect. Furthermore, by applying the concept of group handover to 3G mobile communication systems, the Fast Cell Group Selection (FCGS) scheme can effectively improve the data rate for cell edge users.展开更多
