Performance Analysis of Digital Modulations on Weibull Fading Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Weibull distribution is a flexible statistical model for describing multipath fading channels in both indoor and outdoor radio propagation environments. A new closed-form expression is derived for the moment generating function of the Weibull distribution, valid when its fading parameter assumes integer values. The performance of digital linear modulations operating on Weibull channels is studied. Expressions for the signal outage and average symbol error rate are derived for single-channel reception and multi-channel diversity reception operating on Weibull fading channels.

Error-rate Performance of Selection Combining over Generalized Correlated Weibull Fading Channels
Error-rate performance is studied for selection combining (SC) with arbitrary number of diversity branches over generalized correlated Weibull fading channels. Using a transformation of cumulative distribution function of average branch signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we present the exact error-rate expressions for coherent and noncoherent modulations in infinite series forms. In particular, we de...
متن کاملOn the Effect of Imperfect Cophasing in MRC and EGC Receivers Over Correlated Weibull Fading
This paper presents a comparative analysis of dual-branch maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and equal-gain combining (EGC) receivers with coherent modulations over correlated Weibull fading channels. The numerical and simulations results show the influence of imperfect cophasing, branch unbalancing and correlation on the error performance. It is interestingly shown that EGC has lower irreducible er...
متن کاملMultichannel Reception of Digital Signals over Correlated Nakagami Fading Channels
We obtain generic expressions for the average error rate of multichannel reception of digital signals over correlated slowly varying Nakagami-m fading channels. The results are applicable to coherent detection with maximal-ratio combining as well as to diierentially coherent and noncoherent detection with post-detection equal-gain combining. Aside from extending previous analyses of diversity r...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Spatial Modulation over Weibull Fading Channels
Ascertaining the importance of the recently proposed spatial modulation, we study its performance in Weibull multipath fading channels. Closed form integral expressions for calculating the symbol error rate of spatial modulation (SM) in independent, not necessarily identical Weibull fading channels are derived. Simulation and the analytical results, considering different transmission scenarios,...
متن کاملEnergy Detection of Unknown Signals over Composite multipath/shadowing Fading Channels
In this paper, the performance analysis of an energy detector is exploited over composite multipath/shadowing fading channels, which is modeled by Rayleigh-lognormal (RL) distribution. Based on an approximate channel model which was recently proposed by the author, the RL envelope probability density function (pdf) is approximated by a finite sum of weighted Rayleigh pdfs. Relying on this inter...
