Abstract :
This paper presents the performance analysis of three linear diversity combining schemes in terms of outage probability (OP), level crossing rate (LCR) and average outage duration (AOD) over Nakagami-0.5 fading channels. Closed-form expressions for OP, LCR and AOD are derived for selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC) and maximal-ratio combining (MRC) receive diversity schemes. The expressions derived are numerically evaluated to study the effect of diversity order and exponentially decaying multipath intensity profile (MIP) on the system performance.
