Effects of CIR selection diversity with two correlated branches in the m-fading channel

A number of methods for the measurement of channel impulse response (CIR) (desired signal carrier power to interference ratio) have been proposed in cellular mobile radio systems. The paper estimates the probability of cochannel interference for CIR selection diversity having two correlated branches in the m-fading channel. The advantage of CIR selection diversity over selection diversity based on the desired signal power algorithm is confirmed.
