Abstract :
Selection-and-stay combining for multi-branch (SSTC-MB) systems is investigated. The mathematical model is first established. Based on the Markovian property of the received signal-to-noise ratio, the outage performance is analysed and the closed-form expression is obtained. Numerical results validate the theoretical analysis and show that the SSTC-MB system not only enhances outage performance but also expands the applied scope of a diversity system.
