Abstract
Exact and new formulas are obtained for calculating the bit error rate (BER) performance of digital micro-cellular radio systems employing maximal radio combing (MRC) diversity in an environment with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), correlated co-channel interferers, Rician fading and lognormal shadowing using DPSK/NCFSK modulations. The performance gain due to diversity order is shown and compared with the reduction by the presence of correlated shadowing introduced by the desired signal and the co-channel interferers. Effects of bit energy to noise power density Eb/N0, number of diversity branches, correlation coefficient, shadow spread and Rice factor of the desired signal were investigated.
