This paper investigates the effect of Rician fading and correlation on the capacity and diversity of MIMO channels. The use of antenna arrays at both sides of the wireless communication link (MIMO systems) can result in high channel capacity provided the propagation medium is rich scattering or Rayleigh fading and the antenna arrays at both sides are uncorrelated. However, the presence of line-...

In this paper, we analyze the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of Golden coded Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system over Rician multipath fading channel. We also compare the performance of the MIMO-OFDM system using Golden code in Rayleigh and Rician multipath fading channels. We discuss the effects of the presence of line-of-sight (LoS) c...

We consider the problem of the optimal route selection in the presence of Rician fading channel. The variation in the signal strength due to fading is an overlooked fact in the wireless sensor networks. The conventional route selection strategies neglect the effect of fading and provide the low throughput routes for the data transmission. We consider the underlying dynamics of the wireless comm...

The paper examines the impact of Rician fading on the orthogonality of dual-polarized MIMO channels in a measured urban macrocellular scenario. The measurements confirm the previous finding that the Rician K-factors of the crosspolarized channels are strongly correlated to those of the copolarized channels. However, the Rician K-factors do not in general give direct indications on the orthogona...

In this paper, a detailed theoretical analysis of fading margin in an asynchronous code division multiple access (A-CDMA) system is discussed. Rayleigh and Rician frequency-selective slowly fading channels are considered. Probability distribution and density functions of the probability of error are derived for Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. The fluctuations in the channel capacity are pr...

Introduction: The statistics of noisy MRI magnitude and root sum-of-squares (SoS) images are accurately modeled by the Rician and non-central chi (NCC) probability distributions, respectively [1]. In diffusion MRI (dMRI), the noise bias introduced by these distributions leads to distortion of estimated quantitative diffusion parameters [2]. One approach to addressing this noise bias is to denoi...

Macrodiversity system with macrodiversity selection combining (SC) receiver and two microdiversity SC receivers is considered. Received signal is affected simultaneously to Gamma long term fading and Rician short term fading resulting in system performance degradation. Macrodiversity SC receiver reduces Gamma shadowing effects and microdiversity SC receivers reduce multipath fading effects on b...
