Abstract :
A novel approach to the performance analysis of switched-and-stay combining diversity receivers over independent Weibull fading channels is presented. Closed-form expressions are extracted for important performance parameters, such as the average output signal-to-noise ratio, the amount of fading, the outage probability, and the switching rate.
