UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ JYVÄSKYLÄ 2015Enhancing and Multipoint-to-Point Single-Frequency Network (M2P-SFN) enable transmission of user-dedicated data from several cells, with the objective to improve performance, especially in cell edges where the signal quality is usually weak. The main difference between the concepts is the way cell-specific scrambling codes are configured in the network, which eventually determines how flow control, physical layer resource allocation and signal formation and reception will be conducted. The performance of each technique is separately evaluated with systemlevel simulations. In addition, the dissertation discusses issues with regard to interference conditions and mobility control that may originate from multipoint transmissions.
