Unified Analysis of Generalized Selection Combining over Arbitrary Fading Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive general, unified expressions for the probability density function, cumulative distribution function, and mean SNR of generalized selection combining operating over multibranch, arbitrary, correlated, non-identical fading channels. The expressions are written in terms of the joint probability density function of the branch signals and allow for the equalgain and maximal-ratio methods in the combining stage. As an application example, we analyze the case of exponentially correlated Rayleigh channels. The analytical results are fully validated through Monte-Carlo simulations. In passing, new important expressions for the joint distribution and density of the order statistics of arbitrary correlated variates are also derived. Keywords— Arbitrary fading channels, generalized selection combining, order statistics.

Energy 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...

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 کاملA Blind Hammerstein Diversity Combining Technique for Flat Fading Channels
Diversity combining techniques play an important role in combating the destructive effects of channel fading in wireless communication systems. In this work we present a blind diversity combining technique for Rayleigh flat fading channels based on Hammerstein type filters. We show that the performance of this technique is very close to ideal MRC system which is accepted as an optimum receiver ...

This paper addresses the problem of energy detection of an unknown deterministic signal over a general fading channel model. More particularly, a closed-form mathematical expression is derived for the energy detector's probability of detection over a-# generalized fading channel with selection combining diversity reception. The derived expression can be used to study the performance of energy d...
متن کاملA Unified Performance Analysis of the Effective Capacity of Dispersed Spectrum Cognitive Radio Systems over Generalized Fading Channels
The effective capacity (EC) has been recently established as a rigorous alternative to the classical Shannon’s ergodic capacity since it accounts for the delay constraints imposed by future wireless applications and their impact on the overall system performance. This paper develops a novel unified approach for the EC analysis of dispersed spectrum cognitive radio (CR) with equal gain combining...
