Performance Analysis of Selection Combining Over Correlated Nakagami-m Fading Channels with Constant Correlation Model for Desired Signal and Cochannel Interference
A very efficient technique that reduces fading and channel interference influence is selection diversity based on the signal to interference ratio (SIR). In this pa¬per, system performances of selection combiner (SC) over correlated Nakagami-m channels with constant correlation model are analyzed. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the output SIR probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) which is main contribution of this paper. Outage probability and the average error probability for coherent, noncoherent modulation are derived. Numerical results presented in this paper point out the effects of fading severity and cor¬relation on the system performances. The main contribu¬tion of this analysis for multibranch signal combiner is that it has been done for general case of correlated co-channel interference (CCI)
Dual-Branch MRC Receivers under Spatial Interference Correlation and Nakagami Fading
Despite being ubiquitous in practice, the performance of maximal-ratio
combining (MRC) in the presence of interference is not well understood. Because
the interference received at each antenna originates from the same set of
interferers, but partially de-correlates over the fading channel, it possesses
a complex correlation structure. This work develops a realistic analytic model
that accurately accounts for the interference correlation using stochastic
geometry. Modeling interference by a Poisson shot noise process with
independent Nakagami fading, we derive the link success probability for
dual-branch interference-aware MRC. Using this result, we show that the common
assumption that all receive antennas experience equal interference power
underestimates the true performance, although this gap rapidly decays with
increasing the Nakagami parameter of the interfering links. In
contrast, ignoring interference correlation leads to a highly optimistic
performance estimate for MRC, especially for large . In the low
outage probability regime, our success probability expression can be
considerably simplified. Observations following from the analysis include: (i)
for small path loss exponents, MRC and minimum mean square error combining
exhibit similar performance, and (ii) the gains of MRC over selection combining
are smaller in the interference-limited case than in the well-studied
noise-limited case.Comment: to appear in IEEE Transactions on Communication
On the Multivariate Gamma-Gamma () Distribution with Arbitrary Correlation and Applications in Wireless Communications
The statistical properties of the multivariate Gamma-Gamma ()
distribution with arbitrary correlation have remained unknown. In this paper,
we provide analytical expressions for the joint probability density function
(PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) and moment generation function of
the multivariate distribution with arbitrary correlation.
Furthermore, we present novel approximating expressions for the PDF and CDF of
the sum of random variables with arbitrary correlation. Based
on this statistical analysis, we investigate the performance of radio frequency
and optical wireless communication systems. It is noteworthy that the presented
expressions include several previous results in the literature as special
cases.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Vehicular

On performance analysis of optimal diversity combining with imperfect channel estimation
The optimal diversity combining technique is investigated for multipath Rayleigh and Ricean fading channel with additive white Gaussian noise where only imperfect channel knowledge is available at the receiver. The non-observable estimation error contributes as an additive source of noise which is not white. Therefore, the optimal combining weight is derived taking into consideration the imperfect channel knowledge.
The bit error rate for BPSK modulation over correlated Rayleigh and Ricean fading channel is derived for minimum mean square channel estimation using pilot symbol assisted modulation. Analytical result and Monte-Carlo simulation are presented for specific channel and estimation models to demonstrate the effect of diversity combining with imperfect channel estimation on error performance in comparison with the case when perfect channel knowledge is available at the receiver. The trade-off between the channel estimation accuracy and the effective bit SNR is also discussed. The Pilot-to-Data power ratio is studied for different Rice K factors for optimizing the bit error performance
Performance and Detection of M-ary Frequency Shift Keying in Triple Layer Wireless Sensor Network
This paper proposes an innovative triple layer Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
system, which monitors M-ary events like temperature, pressure, humidity, etc.
with the help of geographically distributed sensors. The sensors convey signals
to the fusion centre using M-ary Frequency Shift Keying (MFSK)modulation scheme
over independent Rayleigh fading channels. At the fusion centre, detection
takes place with the help of Selection Combining (SC) diversity scheme, which
assures a simple and economical receiver circuitry. With the aid of various
simulations, the performance and efficacy of the system has been analyzed by
varying modulation levels, number of local sensors and probability of correct
detection by the sensors. The study endeavors to prove that triple layer WSN
system is an economical and dependable system capable of correct detection of
M-ary events by integrating frequency diversity together with antenna
diversity.Comment: 13 pages; International Journal of Computer Networks & Communications
