Abstract

This paper focuses on performance analysis of dual-branch selection combining (SC) diversity system where both, desired signal as well as co-channel interference (CCI), are subjected to Weibull fading. For the case when desired signal algorithm is used as decision criterion, closed form expressions for joint probability density function (PDF) of desired signal and interference as well as PDF for instantaneous signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at the system output are derived. These expressions are used for overall system performance analysis using outage probability, average bit error probability (ABEP) and average output SIR as system performance measures. Finally, the results obtained in this paper are compared to the previously published results for the same system that uses SIR based algorithm.

Keywords
