Abstract

A completely analytical approach is presented in order to evaluate outage probability of TDMA (time-division multiple access) local radio systems using coding and diversity to combat frequency selective fading. First, starting from a multiray model for multipath propagation, performance sensitivity is tested by suitably simplifying the channel model. An analytical expression is obtained of the probability that BER may exceed a fixed value in the presence of a simplified channel model. A suitable upper bound formulation is given to express the same probability in the presence of coding and diversity techniques. Finally, some application examples are proposed both with reference to slow frequency hopping and space diversity systems
