Outage Probability of Macrodiversity Reception in the Presence of Fading and Weibull Co-Channel Interference

In this paper macrodiversity reception with macrodiversity selection combining (SC) receiver and two microdiversity SC receivers operating over Gamma shadowed Weibull multipath fading channel in the presence of co-channel interference subjected to Weibull short term fading is analysed. Closed form expression for cumulative distribution function (CDF) of signals at outputs of microdiversity receivers is calculated. These results are used for CDF evaluation of macrodiversity SC receiver output signal envelope. Series of derived expressions for outage probability rapidly convergence from 5 to 10 terms should be summed to achieve accuracy at 5th significant digit for any Gamma long term fading parameters and Weibull short term fading parameters. In this paper, influence of Gamma long term fading severity parameter, Gamma long term fading correlation coefficient and Weibull short term fading nonlinearity parameter on outage probability are analysed and discussed

Advanced Trends in Wireless Communications

Physical limitations on wireless communication channels impose huge challenges to reliable communication. Bandwidth limitations, propagation loss, noise and interference make the wireless channel a narrow pipe that does not readily accommodate rapid flow of data. Thus, researches aim to design systems that are suitable to operate in such channels, in order to have high performance quality of service. Also, the mobility of the communication systems requires further investigations to reduce the complexity and the power consumption of the receiver. This book aims to provide highlights of the current research in the field of wireless communications. The subjects discussed are very valuable to communication researchers rather than researchers in the wireless related areas. The book chapters cover a wide range of wireless communication topics
