Abstract

Diversity reception schemes are well-known to have the ability to mitigate the adverse effects of multipath wireless channels. This paper analyzes the performance of an energy detector with generalized selection combining (GSC) over a Rayleigh fading channel and compares the results with those of the conventional diversity combining schemes such as, maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and the selection combining (SC). Novel closed-form expressions have been derived for the average detection probability over the independently, identically distributed (i.i.d) diversity paths. Receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) and average detection probability versus SNR curves have been presented for different scenarios of interest.
