Performance analysis of MRC receiver with channel estimation error and CCI in Nakagami-m fading channels

Abstract

In this paper we have presented the outage probability of maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver with imperfect channel estimation and co-channel interference (CCI) over Nakagami-m fading channels. The channel coefficients are modeled in terms of the estimated channel coefficients and the channel estimation error. Closed form expressions for probability density function (pdf) and outage probability are derived for the output signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR).
