Error Probability Distribution and Density Functions for Weibull Fading Channels With and Without Diversity Combining

Abstract

In this letter, a detailed theoretical analysis of probability distribution and density functions of probability of error in a wireless system is considered. Closed form expressions for distribution and density functions of the probability of error are derived for Weibull fading channels for the cases of (i) No Diversity (ND), (ii) Selection Combining (SC) diversity, and (iii) Switch and Stay Combining (SSC) diversity. Numerical results are plotted and discussed in detail for the various cases.
