Abstract

Spatial diversity commonly used to mitigate the effect of fading in mobile cellular communication systems is analyzed in this paper. Closed form analytical expressions of the bit error rate and outage probability are derived for three fading conditions namely: (a) independent and identically distributed (iid) fading; (b) independent but not identical distributed fading; and (c) correlated fading. The derived expressions are for the generalized binary detection schemes including binary phase shift keying and frequency shift keying. Analysis of results indicate that spatial diversity combined with temporal multipath diversity can achieve significant system improvements. When the diversity channels are correlated, more channels are necessary to achieve similar gains.
