Abstract

We analyze the error performance of coherent binary keying with optimum combining in interference and noise using the joint probability density function of the eigenvalues of the interference correlation matrix. A flat Rayleigh fading environment with space diversity, equipower interferers, and additive white Gaussian noise is considered. Let L denote the diversity order and N the number of interferers. The interference correlation matrix follows a Wishart distribution when N≥L, and a pseudo-Wishart distribution when N\n\n\t\t
