Small-scale and large-scale variations of signal amplitude for wideband data collected at two office buildings have been investigated. The data base includes 12000 impulse response estimates which were obtained by inverse Fourier transforming of the channel's frequency response profiles. Extensive curve fitting for the distribution of individual multipath components' amplitudes using elaborate ...

Performance analysis of switched-and-stay combining (SSC) and selection combining (SC) diversity receivers operating over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels in the presence correlated Nakagami-m distributed co-channel interference (CCI) is presented. Novel infinite series expressions are derived for the output signal to interference ratio's (SIR’s) probability density function (PDF) and cumu...

Modern wireless communication systems support high speed multimedia services. These services require high data rates with acceptable error rates. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a capable candidate to solve this problem. In this paper, a new expression for the BER of OFDM system has been derived over Nakagami–n (Rice) fading channels using characteristics function (CHF) app...

The system performances of selection combining over exponentially correlated Nakagami-m channels are analyzed in this paper. Selection diversity based on the signal to interference ratio (SIR) is very efficient technique that reduces fading and cochannel interference influence. Fading between diversity branches and between interferers is correlated and Nakagami-m distributed with exponential co...

The performance analysis of UWB techniques with MC-SS (multicarrier spread spectrum) system working in multipath fading channel is investigated in this paper. The model of the multipath fading is characterized by Nakagami-m statistic distribution. We establish and derive the model for MC-CDMA systems working in correlated Nakagami-m fading channel. The average BER (bit error rate) is calculated...

This paper presents a general fading distribution – the αDistribution – that includes the Nakagami-m and the Weibull as special cases. One-Sided Gaussian, Rayleigh, and Negative Exponential distributions are also special cases of the αDistribution.

Probability density function (PDF) ,moments of signal and amount of fading (AF) at the output of macrodiversity system in closed form are obtained. Dual maximal-ratio combining (MRC) is implemented at the micro level (single base station) and selection combining (SC) with two base stations (dual diversity) is implemented at the macro level. This model assumes a Nakagami-m density function for t...

We investigate the performance of coded diversity systems employing generalized selection combining (GSC) over Nakagami fading channels. In particular, we derive a numerical evaluation method for the cutoff rate of the GSC systems. In addition, we derive a new union bound on the bit-error probability based on the code’s transfer function. The proposed bound is general to any coding scheme with ...
