Abstract
Novel expressions for the average symbol error probability (ASEP) in switched and stay combining receivers operating over Weibull fading channels have been derived. Closed-form expressions for the optimum switching threshold in the sense of maximum ASEP have also been obtained. The single-branch receiver performance in the Weibull channel is investigated as a special case.
