Ismail and Mustafa M. Matalgah Center for Wireless Communications Department of Electrical Engineering University of Mississippi Oxford MS 38677-1848 USA Received 11 April 2006 Revised 24 November 2006 Accepted 17 January 2007 Recommended by Visa Koivunen We evaluate the performance of selection combining SC diversity in cellular systems where binary phase-shift keying BPSK is employed and the desired signal as well as the cochannel interferers CCIs is subject to Weibull fading. A characteristic function- CF- based approach is followed to evaluate the performance in terms of the outage probability. Two selection criteria are adopted at the diversity receiver maximum desired signal power and maximum output signal-to-interference ratio SIR . We study the effect of the fading parameters of the desired and interfering signals the number of diversity branches as well as the number of interferers on the performance. Numerical results are presented and the validity of our expressions is verified via Monte Carlo simulations. Copyright 2007 M. H. Ismail and M. M. Matalgah.

INTRODUCTION Selection combining SC diversity is one of the simplest available schemes used to combat the detrimental effect of fading. It has been very well studied in the literature over different models of fading channels see 1 Section and the references therein . Also the performance of such diversity scheme in presence of cochannel interference CCI has been investigated under a variety of assumptions in the literature. For
