Abstract
Space diversity reception and forward error correction coding are powerful techniques for combating the multipath fading encountered in mobile radio communications. In this Letter, the authors analyse the performance of a dual maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity system using trellis coded modulation-multiple phase shift keying (TCM-MPSK) on slow, nonselective correlated Nakagami fading channels. An alternative exact derivation is introduced for the pairwise error probability, used in calculating average bit error rate analytical upper bounds
