Second-Order Statistics of Equal-Gain and Maximal-Ratio Combining for the α− μ (Generalized Gamma) Fading Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper derives exact expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration of equal-gain and maximal-ratio combiners for the α − μ (Generalized Gamma) fading Distribution, assumingM unbalanced, non-identical, independent diversity channels. The analytical results are thoroughly validated by reducing the general case to some particular cases (Nakagami-m and Weibull), for which the solutions are known, and by means of simulation, for the more general case. In addition, several new closed-form expressions are also obtained for other special cases.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SPACE DIVERSITY IN a-μ FADING CHANNEL
The α-μ distribution is a generalized fading distribution which explores nonlinearities of the wireless channel. The performance metrics such as outage and bit error rate (BER) of α-μ distribution for maximal ratio combining (MRC), equal gain combining (EGC), selection combining (SC) and switch and stay combining (SSC) is evaluated analytically and by simulation. Analytical and simulation resul...

This paper derives exact expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration of multibranch pureselection, equal-gain, and maximal-ratio combiners operating over independent non-identical α-μ (also called generalized Gamma or Stacy) fading channels. The derived expressions are in closed form for pure-selection combining and in integral form for equal-gain and maximal-ratio combini...

In this paper, the wireless system consisting of macrodiversity selection combining (SC) receiver and two microdiversity SC receivers under the influence of small scale fading and large scale fading, as well as co-channel interference is observed. Small scale fading has Weibull distribution. Correlated large scale fading is described by Gamma distribution. Co-channel interference is disturbed b...

In this article, infinite-series expressions for the second-order statistical measures of a macro-diversity structure operating over the Gamma shadowed -μ fading channels are provided. We have focused on MRC (maximal ratio combining) combining at each base station (micro-diversity), and selection combining (SC), based on output signal power values, between base stations (macro-diversity). Some ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Maximal Ratio Diversity Receivers over Generalized Fading Channels
Diversity reception, is an efficient communication receiver technique for mitigating the detrimental effects of multi-path fading in wireless mobile channels at relatively low cost. Diversity combining is the technique applied to combine the multiple received copies of the same information bearing signal into a single improved signal, in order to increase the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)...
