Performance Analysis of SSC Diversity Receivers over Correlated Ricean Fading Satellite Channels

This paper studies the performance of switch and stay combining (SSC) diversity receivers operating over correlated Ricean fading satellite channels. Using an infinite series representation for the bivariate Ricean probability density function (PDF), the PDF of the SSC output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is derived. Capitalizing on this PDF, analytical expressions for the corresponding cumulative distribution function (CDF), the moments of the output SNR, the moments generating function (MGF), and the average channel capacity (CC) are derived. Furthermore, by considering several families of modulated signals, analytical expressions for the average symbol error probability (ASEP) for the diversity receivers under consideration are obtained. The theoretical analysis is accompanied by representative performance evaluation results, including average output SNR (ASNR), amount of fading (AoF), outage probability (Pout), average bit error probability (ABEP), and average CC, which have been obtained by numerical techniques. The validity of some of these performance evaluation results has been verified by comparing them with previously known results obtained for uncorrelated Ricean fading channels

Performanse kooperativnih bežičnih telekomunikacionih sistema i mogućnosti povećanja kapaciteta kanala u prisustvu fedinga i međukanalne interferencije

In order to improve the performance of the wireless signal transmission system in the presence of various types of interference, new methods of combining diversion techniques in the relay and on the receiving side have been proposed. When using diversi, the combining technique has shown a significant improvement in the performance of wireless relay signal transmission, and thus a lower probability of system failure. Increasing the capacity of wireless telecommunications systems is feasible in terms of fixed bandwidth and specified modulation format by using the cooperative concept to increase the signal strength to noise and interference ratio. By using mobile stations as a relay, performance improvement can be achieved in M2M communication, which can be rationally used to increase channel information capacity and transmission reliability. A more detailed analysis has been conducted and can answer questions about quantitative measures of improvement in the conditions of fading and inter-channel interference. The cases of relay transmission are discussed, as well as the possibility of applying a diversion technique to improve performance in conditions of simultaneous reception of a signal through a direct connection and through a relay. For the above cases, standard performance measures will be determined using statistical telecommunications theory

Statističke karakteristike prvog i drugog reda signala u bežičnom telekomunikacionom sistemu sa selekcionim kombinovanjem

In doctoral dissertation, first and second order system performances of wireless communication system in the presence of fading and interference are considered. Theoretically, four cases are taken into consideration, and obtained numerical results are graphically presented and analyzed. Firstly, wireless mobile communication system with the receiver that contains automatic frequency control (AFC) loop operating over fading channel in the presence of single interference is considered. Performance measures, such as average switching rate (ASR) and mean time lose of lock (MTTL), are defined. In this doctoral dissertation, ASR and MTTL, for three different fading channels: Kg, α-μ and k-μ are obtained. In the next chapter, wireless relay communication system with two sections in the presence of multipath fading is considered. Signal envelope at the input of the receiver can be expressed as product of the first section signal envelope and the second section signal envelope. For such system model, average level crossing rate (LCR) for the case when radio relay system of the first section operates over Nakagami-m fading environment and second section operates over k-μ fading environment is obtained. Wireless relay system with two sections in the presence of non-linear α-μ fading channel is than taken into consideration. Moreover, radio relay system with two sections in the presence of multipath fading and interference is also considered. LCR of the ratio of the product of two k-μ random processes and k-μ random process is calculated. Finally, LCR of the ratio of Rician random process and product of two Rician random processes is obtained. Wireless communication system with two inputs SSC diversity receiver operating over correlated multipath η-μ fading in the presence of interference is than considered. Joint probability density function and joint distribution cumulative function of the ratios of signal to interference at inputs of SSC receivers are calculated. By using obtained expressions for probability density function (PDF), average bit error probability (ABER) for different coherent and non-coherent modulation schemes is obtained while by using derived cumulative distribution function (CDF), outage probability (OP) is obtained. At the end of doctoral dissertation, macrodiversity system with macrodiversity SSC receiver and two microdiversity SC receivers operating over Gamma shadowed multipath fading channel is proposed. In one case Nakagami-m multipath fading channel is considered while in the second case k-μ multipath fading is considered. System performances of the proposed system are derived and numerical results are graphically presented and discusse

Application of diversity techniques for solving the problems of the effects impurities in optical fibers on the performance of optical systems

We analyzed the methods for reducing the impact of noise and interference, the performance of digital optical IM-DD system. Performances of digital optical telecommunication systems, as well as their improvement, were analyzed using standard criteria for evaluation: outage probability, average probability, channel capacity, and average fading duration. These performance measures are determined on the basis of statistical characteristics of the first and second rows of signal reception and are part of the technical documentation accompanying each of the realized digital optical communication system. Therefore, the closed form of expressions, derived in this dissertation, which can be used to calculate the statistical characteristics of signal reception, represent a significant contribution, in terms of design of digital optical transmission systems. Our analysis is placed on theoretical consideration on so far untreated cases, and therefore the theoretical basis of physical phenomena that affect the transmission through the digital optical systems, well known from the literature, are not further elaborated. We included a procedure for determining the expression for the multidimensional joint probability density distribution with correlated and uncorrelated random variables. The derived expressions have a wide range of applicability and are an excellent basis for further performance analysis of optical digital transmission systems, in terms of correlated channels, as well as the characteristics of the connection by using multiple-input receiver. Their practical use is demonstrated especially in the section that deals λSK optical systems, as well as the part of that processes - the relay optical systems. Improving the transmission reliability and reducing the impact of noise and interference on the performance of digital optical telecommunication systems, with a reduction in power transmission and increasing the distance between the transmitter and receiver, is analyzed through the applying of techniques using spatial diversity reception. The dissertation discussed the various techniques of spatial combining receiving signals from the receiving branches of optical systems, in terms of reducing impact noise and interference. Ratios were formed and interference signals at the entrance combiner branches and under the terms of the previous chapter are determined by the joint probability density of these relationships for all incoming branches and the corresponding joint cumulative probability. Using this statistical feature of the incoming signal and interference are determined and statistical characteristics of signal-to-interference at the output of given combiner, which represents the next significant contribution to the dissertation. The contribution of these derived expressions can be seen from the aspect of using the results obtained for the case of the proposed statistical modeling of the channel model when considering the reduction of the impact of various types of noise and interference, and examination performance enhancements of digital optical telecommunication systems using diversity reception techniques. Specifically, by assigning appropriate values of parameters in the corresponding expressions, which describe the statistical characteristics of the first order of receipt, an analysis of the value of standard measures of performance of optical telecommunication systems, as well as improve their use of spatial diversity techniques, for cases when the communication channel is exposed to various types of interference and noises. Using the derived expressions can be shown to improve all the standard measure of performance of optical telecommunication systems. Also, when transferred unchanged forces the useful signal and interference, and at the same range of connections, get better system performance (lower values of the probability of cancellation, less the value of average bet error probability, lower average fading duration...). Based on these facts can be concluded that the required the outage probability values (ABEP) for the reception, when we apply the described techniques of receipt, in the same range of connections and the same noise power, can achieve the necessary reduction of the useful signal power in transmission, that is, at the same useful signal power, the same level of interference in the channel, the required the outage probability (ASEP) at the reception, when we apply the described techniques of receipt, can be achieved at larger distances from the transmitting terminal
