Abstract
Maximal ratio combining for bandlimited BPSK in micro-cellular systems with cochannel interference is considered. A Nakagami/Rayleigh fading model is assumed. Spectrum raised-cosine and Beaulieu-Tan-Damen pulse shapes are employed. Exact closed-form expressions for outage probability with equal and different interferer powers are derived. An average bit error rate approximation is derived using a Gaussian assumption for the cochannel interference. Monte-Carlo simulation is used to validate the Gaussian assumption. The results are valid for arbitrary diversity order and desired user fading parameter. Slow flat fading, asynchronous timing and independent fading gains are assumed.
