SER for Optimal Combining in the Presence of Multiple Correlated Co-Channel Interferers
Srikanth Menon, Sheetal Kalyani · IEEE Communications Letters · 2015
Symbol error rate (SER) performance has been analyzed for a receive diversity system in the presence of multiple interferers and noise over fading channels. Both unequal power interferers and correlated interferers have been considered. The derived approximate SER expressions are easy to evaluate and are applicable to any QAM constellation and arbitrary number of receive antennas and interferers. Further, the impact of correlation between interferer channels is studied and it is shown that correlation behaves like partial interference alignment.
