Performance of 16 QAM Signal with Optimum Threshold Detection and SC Diversity Reception in Rician Fading Channel in the Presence of Cochannel Rayleigh Interference

摘要

In this paper,we have analyzed the error performance of the optimum threshold detection(OTD)of 16 QAM signal in the Rician fading channel with and without the selective combining(SC)diversity technique in the presence of cochannel Rayleigh interference.The error performance of OTD is compared to that of conventional threshold detection(CTD)in the Rician fading channel in the presence of cochannel Rayleigh interference.With the result of analysis,it is found that there exists a synergistic effect due to both SC diversity and optimum threshold detection in the Rician fading channel in the presence of cochannel Rayleigh interference.
