Abstract :
The performance of various receiver antenna diversity combining schemes is analysed in combination with transmit diversity on the downlink of a WCDMA system. The analytical framework developed can handle an arbitrary number of transmit and receive antennas, as well as the study on the effect of dissimilar received signal strengths at the mobile handset on the average symbol error rate performance of a multitude of digital modulation schemes.
