Abstract
The average bit-error rate (BER) performance of /spl pi//4-shifted differential quadrature phase shift keying (/spl pi//4-DQPSK) in the presence of multiple independent cochannel interferers in frequency-nonselective fading environments is analyzed. Nyquist shaped pulses are used and post detection diversity combining is employed at the receiver. The use of both L-branch post detection equal gain combining (EGC) and L-branch post detection selection combining (SC) are considered. Two approaches for representing the cochannel interference are investigated. These are a Gaussian interference model and a synchronous interference model. The accuracies of both of these models are assessed by comparing their BER performances with precise BER results. The precise BER results are obtained by using a combination of analysis and simulation. Attention is given, in particular, to the outdoor microcellular environment. The results of this paper indicate that the synchronous interference model may overestimate the effects of interference while the Gaussian interference model may underestimate the effects of interference.
