Analytical Expression for the Maximum Ratio Combiner (mrc) Signal-to-noise Ratio in Correlated Rician Fading Channels Due to Antenna Mutual Coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
An analytical expression of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the normalized signal-to-noise ratio SNR of the maximum ratio combiner (MRC) in correlated Rician fading channels has been derived. The expression is expressed as an infinite power series which can be computed very fast by truncation to a finite number of terms. The analytical expression can handle any number of receiving branches with different antenna correlations, antenna gains, antenna separations, and signal angles. Results obtained from the analytical expression are compared with those generated by computer Monte Carlo simulations. The cdfs obtained can be used for the determination of diversity gains in correlated Rician fading channels.

Performance analysis and comparison of MRC and optimal combining in antenna array systems
In this paper we examine the statistical properties of the output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of a spatial combiner where the spatial weights used are either the Maximal Ratio Combiner (MRC) weights or the Optimal Combining (Weiner-Hopf) weights. The channels are modeled as slow flat Rayleigh fading channels and multiple interferers are assumed present. In particular, the mod...

We derive here a novel unified framework for computing the average bit-error-ratio (BER) of a directsequence spread spectrum receiver using maximum ratio combiner (MRC), in the presence of code synchronization errors and multipath Rayleigh or Rician fading channels. Traditionally, for single-user systems, the signal to noise ratio at the output of MRC is modeled as a quadratic form in complex G...

In this study, approximate symbol error rate (SER) expressions for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) modulation scheme over independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) slow-flat Rician and Rayleigh fading channels are derived. Simulation results show the superior impact of using the maximum ratio combining (MRC) space diversity technique on the overall performance. In particular, the communi...

This analysis extends to Rician fading our earlier studies for Rayleigh fading of maximal-ratio eigencombining (MREC) — also known as eigenbeamforming — vs. maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and statistical beamforming (BF), for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) wireless systems. MREC is a superset of BF and MRC. Given instantaneous channel state information (ICSI), which is the channel gain vect...

In this study, exact closed-form expressions for the second-order statistics of the signal-to-noise ratio at a maximum ratio combiner (MRC) output for a Nakagami fading channel are derived. Using the joint characteristic function for the MRC output and its time derivative, the level crossing rate, average fading duration and autocorrelation function expressions are derived for the case of indep...
