Abstract
The performance of generalized selection combining (GSC) space diversity for mobile radio systems in the presence of multiple cochannel interferers is studied. Two cochannel interference models are considered: (1) L cochannel interferers consisting of L-N Nakagami-m (1960) interferers and N Rayleigh interferers and (2) L cochannel interferers in which each interferer follows Nakagami-m distribution for a fraction of time and Rayleigh distribution for the remaining of time. The fading parameters of the Nakagami-m interferers are limited to integer values only. The desired signal is assumed to be Rayleigh faded. Also, all the desired signals and the cochannel interferers received on each branch are independent of each other. Closed-form expressions are derived for the probability density functions (PDFs) of the instantaneous signal-to-interference power ratio (SIR) at the output of the GSC for the two cochannel interference models. Using these SIR PDFs, closed-form expression for evaluating the outage probability and the average bit error probability (BEP) are subsequently derived. A differential phase-shift keying scheme is considered in the derivation. Numerical results showing the influences of various system parameters on the outage probability and the average BEP are then presented.
