Abstract
Maximal ratio combining (MRC) and selection combining (SC) diversity techniques enhance wireless communication networks’ reliability by mitigating fading effects and improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. Hence, these techniques have a crucial impact on reducing the bit error rate (BER) and increasing the capacity of wireless communication systems. This paper introduces new exact mathematical formulas for the distribution of instantaneous SNR, BER and channel capacity per unit bandwidth (CpUB) for L-branch MRC and SC diversity receivers in offset quadrature amplitude modulation-based filter bank multi-carrier (OQAM/FBMC) systems for 5G wireless communication. Additionally, new formulations for BER and CpUB using the semi-analytical method have been derived. These formulas consider the combined effects of non-linear distortion from a high-power amplifier (NLD-HPA), the Rayleigh fading channel, and impulsive noise (IN). Monte-Carlo computer simulations verify the validity and accuracy of the derived theoretical instantaneous SNR, BER and CpUB across OQAM/FBMC-MRC and OQAM/FBMC-SC diversity system parameters, such as the number of branches (L), the input back-off (IBO) of NLD-HPA, and IN. According to the results of simulation modeling and a comparative analysis of performance, the OQAM/FBMC-MRC diversity system tends to have better BER performance and CpUB compared to the OQAM/FBMA-SC system in all scenarios.
