Abstract

The expressions for probability density function (PDF) of the Switch and Stay Combiner (SSC) output signal to noise ratio (SNR) at one time instant and the joint probability density function of the SSC combiner output signal to noise ratio at two time instants in the presence of α-μ fading are determined in this paper. Then, these expressions are used for calculation of the Outage probability and Amount of fading for complex Switch and Stay Combining/Maximal Ratio Combining (SSC/MRC) combiner versus some parameter values. The results are shown graphically in some figures and the analysis of the parameters influence and different types of combiners is given.
