Abstract

Maximal-ratio combiner (MRC) performances in fading channels have been of interest for a long time, which can be seen by a number of papers concerning this topic. In this paper we treat bit error probability (BEP), symbol error probability (SEP) and outage probability of MRC in presence of fading. We will present fading model, probability density function (PDF), and cumulative distribution function (CDF). We will also present PDF, CDF, and outage probability of theL-branch MRC output. BEP/SEP will be evaluated for broad class of modulation types and for coherent and noncoherent types of detection. BEP/SEP and outage performances of the MRC will be evaluated for different number of branches via Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical expressions.
