Abstract

This paper examines the impact of channel estimation errors on the distribution of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at the output of the optimum combiner for space diversity reception in the uplink of wireless systems with multiple interferers. We generalize the results of prior work obtained for Rayleigh fading channels to a Rician/Rayleigh fading environment where the desired user is subject to Rician fading while the interferers experience Rayleigh fading. Using multivariate statistical analysis, an exact closed-form expression is derived for the probability density function (PDF) of the output SIR. The PDF expression is a useful tool to derive the analytical expressions of some other important measures of performance such as the outage probability and the average bit error probability. The theoretical result is verified by Monte Carlo simulations
