Performance analysis of SIR-based dual selection diversity over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels

Signal-to-interference-ratio (SIR)-based selection diversity is an efficient technique to mitigate fading and cochannel interference in wireless communications systems. An approach to the performance analysis of dual SIR-based selection diversity over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels with arbitrary parameters is presented. Useful formulae for the outage probability, the average output SIR, and the average error probability for coherent, noncoherent, and multilevel modulation schemes are derived. The main contribution of the paper is that, for the first time, the proposed analysis is carried out assuming correlated Nakagami-m fading with arbitrary parameters for both the desired signals and the cochannel interferers, which is the real scenario in practical dual selection diversity systems with insufficient antenna spacing. It is shown that the presented general results reduce to the specific ones for the independent fading case, previously published. Numerical and simulation results are also presented to show the effects of various parameters, such as the fading severity, input SIR unbalance, and level of correlation, to the system's performance.

Performance analysis of ARQ schemes with code combining over Nakagami-m fading channel

This article investigates the performance of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) with code combining over the ideally interleaved Nakagami-m fading channel. Two retransmission protocols with coherent equal gain code combining are adopted, where the entire frame and several selected portions of the frame are repeated in protocols Ⅰ and Ⅱ, respectively. Protocol Ⅱ could be viewed as a generalization of the recently proposed reliability-based HARQ. To facilitate performance analysis, an approximation of the product of two independent Nakagami-m distributed random variables is first developed. Then the approximate analysis is utilized to obtain exact frame error probability (FEP) for protocol Ⅰ, and the upper bound of the FEP for protocol Ⅱ. Furthermore, the throughput performance of both two protocols is presented. Simulation results show the reliability of the theoretical analysis, where protocol Ⅱ outperforms protocol Ⅰ in the throughput performance due to the reduced amount of transmitted information.     

Performance analysis of maximal ratio transmission with receiver antenna selection over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels

In this paper, we develop a framework to analyze the performance analysis of multi-antenna system that employ maximal-ratio transmission with receive antenna selection (MRT/RAS) over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels. We derive the probability density function (pdf) of the post processing signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the decoder, when spatial fading correlation is assumed. Utilizing the pdf, a closed-form analytical expression is derived in terms of channel capacity, outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) of M-ary modulation schemes. It can be observed that the performance loss in terms of capacity and SER is negligible when the separation between adjacent antennas is as large as 0.5 for exponential correlation model. Numerical outcomes considering the spatial correlation represent the performance characteristics and analyze their impacts on channel capacity, outage probability and SER of MRT/RAS system.

     

Performance analysis of equal-gain diversity receivers over generalized Gamma fading channels

Generalized Gamma (GG) distribution is a generic model that covers many well-known fading distributions as special cases. This paper deals with the performance analysis of L-branch equal gain combining (EGC) receivers operating over GG fading channels. For these receivers and by using convergent infinite series approach, the probability of error (P_e) can be formulated in the form of an infinite series. The coefficients of P_e series can be derived by calculating complicated integrations over the fading envelope distribution. In this paper, it is shown that the required integrations for the case of GG distribution have a complex closed-form in terms of Meijer's G function, and then, a new approximation method is developed for computation of them. The proposed method only needs mean and variance of the fading envelope; hence it has low complexity and eliminates the need for calculation of complex functions. The presented numerical examples show that the developed method can approximate the required parameters and also the individual coefficients accurately and this accuracy increases with the increase of L. The proposed method is applied to analyze the probability of error performance of the L-branch EGC receiver with both coherent phase shift keying (CPSK) and frequency shift keying (CFSK) modulation schemes under different GG channel conditions. Also the effect of gain unbalance between diversity branches on the probability of error is investigated.     

Performance analysis of dual switched diversity over correlated Weibull fading channels with co‐channel interference

This paper studies the performance of switch and stay combining (SSC) diversity in the presence of co‐channel interference over correlated Weibull fading channels. SSC diversity based on signal‐to‐interference ratio (SIR) is a low‐complexity and a very efficient technique that reduces fading and co‐channel interference influence. New closed‐form expressions for the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the output SIR's are derived. These formulas are used in a detailed analysis of the average output SIR and outage probability. The influence of fading severity and correlation coefficient on the optimum switching threshold and system performance is investigated. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to verify obtained theoretical results and determine average bit error rate in detecting binary phase‐shift keying (BPSK), differential BPSK and quadrature amplitude modulation signals.

Performance analysis of dual-hop fixed-gain AF relaying systems with OSTBC over Nakagami-m fading channels

In this paper, we present outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) performance analyses of a dual-hop transmission using fixed-gain amplify-and-forward relaying in flat Nakagami-m fading channels. The system under consideration is equipped with multiple antennas at source and destination adopting orthogonal space-time block coding to provide transmit diversity and maximum ratio combining to provide receive diversity, respectively. For integer and half-integer m values, closed forms of exact outage probability and moment generating function (MGF) expressions are derived through cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the overall system signal-to-noise ratio. Closed-form exact SER expressions based on the overall CDF are obtained for binary phase shift keying, binary frequency shift keying and M-ary pulse amplitude modulation. Exact SER expressions based on the MGF method are also obtained for binary differential phase shift keying, M-ary phase shift keying and M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation. Moreover, the asymptotic diversity order analysis is performed through derivations of asymptotic outage probability and SER. Theoretical analyses are validated by Monte Carlo simulations showing perfect match between each other.     

Performance of generalized selection combining over Weibull fading channels

The literature is relatively sparse in performance analysis of diversity combining schemes over Weibull fading channels, despite the fact that the Weibull distribution is often found to be suitably fit for empirical fading channel measurements. In this paper, we capitalize on some interesting results due to Lieblein on the order statistics of Weibull random variables to derive exact closed‐form expressions for the combined average signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) as well as amount of fading (AF) at a generalized selection combining (GSC) output over Weibull fading channels. We also use some simple AF‐based mappings between the fading parameters of the Weibull distribution and those of the Nakagami, Rice, and Hoyt distributions to obtain the approximate but accurate average SNR and AF of GSC over these types of channels. The mathematical equations are validated and illustrated by some numerical examples for scenarios of practical interest. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive modulation and combining for bandwidth and power efficient communication over fading channels

Traditional fading mitigation techniques are designed relative to the worst‐case channel conditions, resulting in a poor utilization of the spectrum and the available power a good percentage of the time. In contrast, we introduce and investigate in this paper new adaptive modulation and diversity combining techniques that jointly select the most appropriate constellation size and the most suitable diversity branches in response to the channel variation and given a desired bit error rate (BER) requirement. Numerical results show that these newly proposed adaptive modulation and combining schemes can reduce considerably the average receiver channel estimation complexity as well as the power drain from the battery while offering high spectral efficiency and satisfying the desired outage probability and BER requirements.

Performance analysis of space-time block codes over keyhole Nakagami-m fading channels

In multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) fading environments, degenerate channel phenomena, called keyholes or pinholes, may exist under the realistic assumption that the spatial fading is uncorrelated at the transmitter and the receiver, but the channel has a rank-deficient transfer matrix. In this paper, we analyze the exact average symbol error rate (SER) of orthogonal space-time block codes (STBCs) with M-PSK and M-QAM constellations over Nakagami-m fading channels in the presence of the keyhole. We derive the moment generating function (MGF) of instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) after space-time block decoding (signal combining) in such channels. Using a well-known MGF-based analysis approach, we express the average SER of the STBC in the form of single finite-range integrals whose integrand contains only the derived MGF. Numerical results show that the keyhole significantly degrades the SER performance of the STBC from idealistic behaviors in independent identically distributed MIMO channels.     

Performance and diversity analysis of decode‐and‐forward cooperative system over Nakagami‐m fading channels

In this paper, we derive the upper bound of bit‐error rate (BER) performance and diversity gain for a decode‐and‐forward (DF) cooperative system. Either maximal‐ratio combining (MRC) or cooperative MRC (C‐MRC) is employed at the receiver in the presence of independent, non‐identical Nakagami‐m fading. Both analytical and simulation results show that C‐MRC takes advantage of spatial diversity more efficiently and thus achieves the same or better performance and diversity order as compared to MRC.

Performance evaluation of L-maximal ratio combining diversity with estimation error for Shadowed Beaulieu-Xie fading channels

To provide the increasing demand for wireless technologies, high capacity with lower latency is vital. New emerging technologies like 5G, millimeter wave, THz, and so forth are able to characterize such complex fading and shadowed environments. Spatial diversity is one of the techniques to minimize fading in the wireless communication channel. The performance of the wireless communication system can be further optimized by using estimators at the receivers. The influence of imperfect channel estimation on the performance over shadowed Beaulieu-Xie (SBX) fading channels with L-maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity is studied. The probability density function (PDF) of the received output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with L-MRC over SBX fading channels is derived. Further PDF of the received output SNR, outage probability, and average bit error rate (ABER) using the derived PDF is evaluated for L-MRC diversity with channel estimation error over SBX fading channels. ABER expression for Gray-coded rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation over the SBX channel is also evaluated. The study also includes how the system performs under the effect of different shadowing and fading parameters.     

On the capacity and BER performance of multiuser scheduling over MIMO Nakagami-m fading channels

This paper presents a performance analysis for evaluating multiuser and spatial diversities achieved in multiuser MIMO systems employing orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) over Nakagami-m fading channels. Two multiuser scheduling schemes are considered, absolute SNR-based scheduling (AS) and normalized SNR-based scheduling (NS) schemes for both heterogeneous and homogeneous wireless networks. Analytical expressions are derived for the average channel capacity and average bit error rate (BER) of these systems. The considered scheduling schemes are numerically evaluated and compared in terms of average capacity, average BER and fairness. It is shown that in the heterogeneous case, unlike the AS scheme, the NS scheme can guarantee fairness to the users. It is also shown that in the heterogeneous case, the AS scheme yields a higher average capacity and a lower average BER compared to the NS scheme and to the homogeneous case.
