Performance Analysis of Advanced Diversity Receivers in the Presence of Multiple Interferers

Abstract

In this paper, the performance analysis of two different diversity models in presence of multiple interferers and co-channel interference is presented. Arbitrary number of received signals are examined and processed using these diversity techniques. The performance analysis is presented for a Partitioned Selection Diversity Combiner (PSDC) which is an Advanced Diversity Combiner (ADC) consisting of $L$ Selection Combiners (SC) followed by a Maximal Ratio Combiner (MRC). The results are also presented for another ADC consisting of a Generalized Selection Combiner (GSC) followed by an MRC. Both the models are analyzed in the presence of co-channel interference (CCI) over Nakagami-m fading channels. The signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is derived. Using the obtained expressions of SINR, the Average bit error rate (ABER) expression for differential phase shift keying (DPSK) and non-coherent frequency shift keying (NCFSK) modulation techniques are derived. The ABER results are plotted and comparison is made between the two diversity models. Numerical and simulation results are done.
