Abstract
In this letter, the performance of the selection combining (SC) scheme over independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Fisher-Snedecor <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">F</i> fading channels is analysed. Accordingly, the probability density function (PDF) and the moment generating function (MGF) of the maximum of i.n.i.d. Fisher-Snedecor <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">F</i> variates are derived first. Based on these statistics, the exact expression and the asymptotic behaviour at high average signal-to-noise ratio value of the average bit error probability (ABEP), the normalised average channel capacity (ACC), and the average area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) of the energy detection based spectrum sensing with i.n.i.d. SC diversity receivers are provided. To validate our analysis, the numerical results are compared with the Monte Carlo simulations.
