High-speed railway (HSR) has witnessed a huge growth all over the globe reaching a maximum speed of 575 km/h. This record of speed makes mobile communications difficult for HSR since the handover (HO) frequency increases which frequently results in a loss of connectivity. This paper proposes a specialized network architecture based on distributed antenna systems (DAS) for HSR broadband wireless communication systems along with the two- hop architecture. Further, a frequency switch (FSW) scheme is proposed aiming to eliminate the need for HO between the successive small coverage remote antenna units (RAUs) that fall under the same central unit (CU) control. The analytical results show that the proposed scheme outperforms traditional HO schemes and can support the application with high quality of services (QoS) requirement.
