Abstract

The performances of maximum-ratio (MRC) and optimum diversity combining schemes in the presence of ISI due to cochannel interference (CCI) in flat Rayleigh fading channels are analyzed and compared. In flat fading environments, ISI can be generated by co-channel interferers due to the random symbol and phase offsets between the desired signal and the cochannel interferers. With these two random-valued offsets, the CCI is shown as a wide-sense stationary process (WSS) and then an optimal diversity can be applied. Several fading conditions experienced by desired and interfering signals are considered. The performance using the Gaussian interference model is also provided for comparison. An accurate error rate is obtained by using the moment method for each time-varying channel in Monte-Carlo simulations.
