| Summary: | Maximal-ratio combiner (MRC) performances in fading channels have been of
interest for a long time, which can be seen by a number of papers concerning this topic.
In this paper we treat bit error probability (BEP), symbol error probability (SEP) and outage
probability of MRC in presence of 𝜅-𝜇 fading.
We will present 𝜅-𝜇 fading model, probability density function (PDF), and cumulative distribution function (CDF). We will also present PDF, CDF, and
outage probability of the L-branch MRC output. BEP/SEP will be evaluated for broad class of modulation types and for coherent and noncoherent types of detection. BEP/SEP and outage performances of the MRC will be evaluated for different number of branches via Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical expressions. |
