Abstract :
A sequential selection combining (SQC) scheme based on signal detection is proposed and analyzed for dual-branch space diversity over Nakagami fading channels. The complexity of the SQC is lower than the maximal-ratio combining (MRC). The SQC can be shown to have a better performance than the selection combining (SC), where the BPSK is considered as an example for illustration and its average bit error rate (BER) is derived and evaluated. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the SSC performance.
