Diversity and packet combining in Rayleigh fading channels
S.S. Chakraborty, Markku Liinaharja, Kalle Ruttik · IEE Proceedings - Communications · 2005
Antenna diversity is a widely studied strategy to combat fading processes in wireless systems. While packet combining may further enhance receiver diversity, this issue has not received much attention. The authors present a study of ARQ schemes with different receiver diversity schemes. An important outcome of the work is that significant performance gain can be achieved with packet combining along with selection diversity.
