摘要:In order to achieve the balance between implementation complexity and system performance, a new hybrid combining technique named SEC-SC is proposed in this paper, which is composed of switch-and-examine combining (SEC) and selection combining(SC).The average symbol error probability (ASEP) and outage probability (OP) of the SEC-SC system over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated. The exact ASEP expressions are derived for several modulation schemes, including phase shift keying (PSK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). The exact closed-form OP expressions are also presented. Then the ASEP and OP performance under different conditions is evaluated through numerical simulations to verify the analysis. The simulation results showed that the performance of the SEC-SC system is improved with the diversity branches and the fading coefficient increased, but the level of improvement is declined as the number of cascaded components increased.
