Abstract :
We discuss the procedure for performance evaluation of the previously introduced by us multiply-detected macrodiversity (MDM) scheme. The MDM scheme, in contrast with the traditional macrodiversity scheme, is not based on selection, but rather on postdetection combining. In particular, we compare the performance of the MDM scheme with the performance of the S-macrodiversity in the presence of shadow fading. Our performance evaluation results lead us to some insights into the factors that contributes to the improvement of the MDM scheme
