EQUAL GAIN COMBINING OVER GENERALIZED FADING CHANNELS
Abstract
We suggest the alternative approach based on definition of the moment generating function for the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver output with the purpose to analyze performance of systems with equal gain combining over Nakagami-n (Rice) and Nakagami-q (Hoyt) fading channels under consideration of land, mobile and satellite telecommunication systems. We derive the exact closed-form mathematical expressions for average symbol error probability and outage probability using the Pade rational approximation to moment generating function of the SNR at the output of the combiner. We investigate the following important receiver performance such as the average SNR at the receiver output, fading, spectral effectiveness at weak input signals. Additionally, we study the rational Pade approximation of the moment generating function applying to the average SNR at the receiver output and evaluate bit error rate and the outage probability. Additionally, we investigate a possibility of modeling a Hoyt fading channel based on presentation Nakagami-m statistical model for evaluation of error performance under the use of equal gain combining technique.
