Abstract

In mobile radio systems, antenna diversity is used to combat fading and reduce the impact of cochannel interference. We derived a new expression for probability density functions of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and apply it to analyze the outage probability (OTP) for a maximal ratio combining diversity system when multiple cochannel interferers are present. Numerical results showing the impact of the number of antenna elements, the number of cochannel interferers, and signal-to-noise ratio on the OTP are presented. Simulation results validating the analytical results are also presented.
