Capacity of Dual MRC with Adaptive Transmitters over non-identical TWDP Fading Channels

One of the significant indicators of the Quality of Service that can be achieved by a wireless communication system is the findings of capacity analysis. Hence, these results are of enormous significance to wireless communication system designers and engineers. Channel capacity expressions for dual branch Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) diversity system with various adaptive transmission techniques over two wave diffuse power (TWDP) fading channels are derived. The probability density function (PDF) based method is applied for the derivation of these capacity expressions. The consequences of fading parameters K and Delta and diversity order M, on the capacity of MRC receiver with different adaptive transmission techniques have been examined. Finally, a comparison of the capacity of the receiver with various adaptive transmission schemes over TWDP fading channel is also presented.
