Abstract :
Asymptotic error rate expressions are derived for equal gain combining and selection combining on dual-branch correlated Rician channels. The asymptotic error rate performances of three popular diversity combining techniques are compared and some insights are obtained. The impacts of various channel parameters on the asymptotic performances of these diversity combining techniques are studied comprehensively. Some previous observations on diversity performances on correlated Rician channels are unified and further extended.
