The LCR of wireless macrodiversity SSC receiver in the presence of gamma shadowed Kappa-Mu fading

Abstract

Wireless mobile macrodiversity (MaD) radio system with switch and stay (SSC) receiver and two microdiversity (MiD) selection combining (SC) branches operating over Gamma shadowed Kappa-Mu (k-µ) multipath fading environment is considered. Novel, one-folded integral expression for average level crossing rate (LCR) of MaD SSC receiver output signal envelope is obtained. Numerical results of the proposed model are presented and discussed in relation to the system model parameters.

System performances of SC reception in asymmetric multipath fading environments

“…whether environment has one or multiple clusters and etc. The most commonly used distributions are Rayleigh, Rice, Nakagami-m, η-μ, α-μ, and κ-μ (Simon & Alouini, 2000;Panic et al, 2017;Nakagami, 1960;Yacoub, 2007;Djosic et al, 2016;Stefanović & Đošić, 2016). Various diversity techniques are used to reduce the impact of the fast fading on the system performances.…”

“…The papers (Milic et al, 2016;Stefanović et al, 2013;Panajotović et al, 2013) consider first and second order performance analysis of dual branch SC receiver in the presence of co-channel interference. In paper, referenced as (Stefanović & Đošić, 2016), the macro-diversity system is considered with SC reception at micro-level. Moreover, the paper (Djosic et al, 2016;Stefanovic et al, 2017) consider second order statistics of macro-diversity systems with SC at micro-level as well as at macro-level.…”

Application of Laplace Approximation Formula in Performance Analysis of Wireless Relay Communication System in Multipath Fading Environment

“…The kappa-mu distribution can describe small scale variation in line-of-sight (LOS) fading environment. The kappa parameter, also known as Rice factor can be calculated as the ratio of dominant components power and scattering components power while mu parameter known as fading severity, determines the number of propagation clusters [11,12,13]. In this paper, Laplace approximation formula is applied for calculation of infinite-series expression of the LCR of the product of Nakagami-m and kappa-mu random processes.…”
