PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF DUAL-BRANCH AND TRIPLE-BRANCH SELECTION DIVERSITY RECEIVER BASED ON DESIRED SIGNAL ALGORITHM OVER CORRELATED WEIBULL FADING CHANNELS

As an important performance measure, in this paper the outage probability of dual- and triple-branch selection combining (SC) diversity system is compared. The analyzed system works over correlated Weibull fading channels in the presence of cochannel interference (CCI) where the output signal choice is done using desired signal algorithm. Results are graphically presented showing the influence of number of diversity branches, correlation coefficient and ratio of average powers of desired and interference signal.

Performance analysis of system with triple selection combining over correlated Weibull fading channel in the presence of cochannel interference

In this paper, closed-form expressions for probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at the output of the triple selection combining (SC) receiver over correlated Weibull fading channels in the presence of correlated cochannel interference (CCI) are derived. These expressions are used to study wireless system performance criteria, such as outage probability, average bit error probability and average output SIR. .
