Abstract

Stochastic channel characterization of indoor mobile radio communication (IMRC), is a long going research interest. Recently, with an extensive data base it has been shown that, amplitude distribution of fading signal in the IMRC channel is lognormal. Based on this model, in this paper, a performance analysis of selective diversity combining is presented. Two performance criterions: average system-output-SNR and the percentage of system-reliability are considered. The results show that, significant improvement can be obtained in the IMRC receiver performance, by using diversity combining
