Abstract :
In this work, we introduce a novel probability density function (PDF)-based expression to obtain the maximum average spectral efficiency (MASE) and the average symbol error rate (ASER) of L-branch Generalized Selection Combining (GSC) receiver over independent and identical Weibull fading channels. Approximating the output SNR by a simple H-distribution, useful expressions of outage probability, MASE and ASER for some M-ary modulation schemes are derived in terms of Meijer G-function. The approximated PDF is validated by computed simulations using Mathematica software.
