Research results shown in this thesis consider selection combining space diversity
systems. Weibull fading model is used to describe a desired signal and interference in a
wireless telecommunication channel. In an interference-limited environment, like a cellular
communication system, the level of cochannel interference is sufficiently high compared to
noise so that it can be neglected. In that case, a selection combining receiver can employ
different combining algorithms, that can be used to forward the chosen signal to the output of
the receiver.
After the theoretical basis, which is given at the beginning of the thesis, a detailed
analysis of space diversity systems that use different selection algorithms is presented. The
system performance is analyzed using one of the proposed criteria: maximal signal-tointerference
ratio, maximal desired signal, maximal total signal, and minimal interference.
For a system employing each of these algorithms, a detailed analysis of statistical
characteristics of first and second order is given using the expressions derived in this thesis.
The first focus is on deriving the expressions for probability density function of instantaneous
signal-to-interference ratio at the output of selection combining receiver employing each of
the previously mentioned algorithms. Based on the derived expressions, numerical results are
presented for statistical characteristics of the first order, namely outage probability, average
bit error probability, average signal-to-interference ratio and channel capacity. Additionally,
for the statistical characteristics of the second order, which are level crossing rate and average
fade duration, expressions for joint probability density function of instantaneous signal-tointerference
ratio and its time derivative are derived.
A new mathematical approach for obtaining analytical expression for probability
density function of instantaneous signal-to-interference ratio at the output of selection
combining receiver with two branches that uses maximal signal-to-noise ratio algorithm is
presented.
Considering that mobile terminals are relatively small, the distance between receiving
antennas is not large enough to be neglected. Therefore, the correlation between the branches
is included in the analysis of statistical characteristics of the first order. Due to easier
mathematical manipulation, statistical characteristics of second order do not consider
correlation between receiving branches.
Numerical results obtained using the expressions derived in this thesis for different
decision algorithms are presented graphically. The illustrations show the influence of fading
severity, correlation between the desired signals, as well as the interfering ones and balanced
and unbalanced inputs for each of mentioned algorithms on outage probability, average bit
error probability, average signal-to-interference ratio and channel capacity.
The results for second order statistics for dual branch selection diversity system
operating in Weibull fading environment were compared for a system that employs two
selection algorithms, algorithm based on maximal signal-to-interference ratio, as most
frequently used one, and algorithm based on minimal interference, the algorithm that was not
exploited in literature.
The main contribution of this thesis lies in obtained results for statistical
characteristics and performance of the system that uses four proposed algorithms at receiver
side. The presented analysis of selection diversity system for given channel conditions can be
applied to achieve optimized solutions of wireless system design
An efficient approximation to the correlated Nakagami-m sums and its application in equal gain diversity receivers
There are several cases in wireless communications theory where the
statistics of the sum of independent or correlated Nakagami-m random variables
(RVs) is necessary to be known. However, a closed-form solution to the
distribution of this sum does not exist when the number of constituent RVs
exceeds two, even for the special case of Rayleigh fading. In this paper, we
present an efficient closed-form approximation for the distribution of the sum
of arbitrary correlated Nakagami-m envelopes with identical and integer fading
parameters. The distribution becomes exact for maximal correlation, while the
tightness of the proposed approximation is validated statistically by using the
Chi-square and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit tests. As an application,
the approximation is used to study the performance of equal-gain combining
(EGC) systems operating over arbitrary correlated Nakagami-m fading channels,
by utilizing the available analytical results for the error-rate performance of
an equivalent maximal-ratio combining (MRC) system
Level Crossing Rates of Interference in Cognitive Radio Networks
The future deployment of cognitive radios is critically dependent on the fact
that the incumbent primary user system must remain as oblivious as possible to
their presence. This in turn heavily relies on the fluctuations of the
interfering cognitive radio signals. In this letter we compute the level
crossing rates of the cumulative interference created by the cognitive radios.
We derive analytical formulae for the level crossing rates in Rayleigh and
Rician fast fading conditions. We approximate Rayleigh and Rician level
crossing rates using fluctuation rates of gamma and scaled noncentral
processes respectively. The analytical results and the approximations used in
their derivations are verified by Monte Carlo simulations and the analysis is
applied to a particular CR allocation strategy.Comment: submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Performance of Cognitive Radio Systems with Imperfect Radio Environment Map Information
In this paper we describe the effect of imperfections in the radio
environment map (REM) information on the performance of cognitive radio (CR)
systems. Via simulations we explore the relationship between the required
precision of the REM and various channel/system properties. For example, the
degree of spatial correlation in the shadow fading is a key factor as is the
interference constraint employed by the primary user. Based on the CR
interferers obtained from the simulations, we characterize the temporal
behavior of such systems by computing the level crossing rates (LCRs) of the
cumulative interference represented by these CRs. This evaluates the effect of
short term fluctuations above acceptable interference levels due to the fast
fading. We derive analytical formulae for the LCRs in Rayleigh and Rician fast
fading conditions. The analytical results are verified by Monte Carlo
simulations.Comment: presented at IEEE AusCTW 2009. Journal versions are under
