Outage Probability of Maximal Ratio Combiner in the Presence of Adjacent Cell Interference and Adjacent Channel Interference

AbstractTransmission of information in wireless communications is subjected to multipath fading, adjacent channel interference, and adjacent cell interference. The aim of this paper is to study the analysis of maximal ratio combiner (MRC) in the presence of adjacent cell interference and adjacent channel Interference using outage probability. MRC is a well known signal processing technique in which the received signal at each antenna is weighted by their individual signal-to-interference plus-noise ratios and are coherently combined. Imperfect estimation of the desired user’s channel fading coefficients will be analyzed and the channel fading coefficients will be assumed to be Gaussian distributed. The estimation error will be measured with the help of correlation coefficients between the true fading values and their estimates.
