Abstract :
We derive the exact symbol error probability for coherent detection of MPSK signals with optimum combining in the presence of multiple uncorrelated equal power co-channel interferers and thermal noise in a Rayleigh fading environment. The expression is general and valid for arbitrary numbers of receiving antennas or co-channel interferers. The complexity of the analytical model depends on the smaller of the number of antennas and the number of interferers
