2005, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Electrical Engineering.
Mobile communication technologies have grown significantly in recent years. In order to satisfy the increasing number of users and their ever increasing requirements, there have been continuous enhancements in present-day wireless standards. With the proliferation of these standards, use of conventional techniques for improving receiver performance becomes very complex. Hence, the design and analysis of low complexity suboptimal techniques, which are comparable to optimal techniques on performance basis and consume less power, has received tremendous interest in a research community. Along these lines this thesis analyzes a suboptimal diversity combining system called generalized selection combining (GSC). In this thesis, we develop an analytical framework for error rate analysis of the GSC technique in a correlated Nakagami fading environment. We derive the moment generating function of the output SNR of a GSC system and, using the moment generating function, the bit error rate of the system is derived. We show that our developed analytical expressions converge to the results presented in literature for the special cases of independent identically distributed GSC with Rayleigh and Nakagami fading, and maximal ratio combining with IID Nakagami fading. Finally, the analytical equations are plotted, verified and compared with the results from system simulations.
