In this paper, the system-level performance of WCDMA -with Radio-over-Fibre (RoF) access network is investigated. This paper aims at addressing issues such as coverage and transmits power reduction during Macrodiversity. The simulation results demonstrate that, for a given service, the transmit power reduction is up to 50% (depending on the channel model and the mobile speed) in the case of the RoF technique as compared to the wireless link.
