Abstract
Outage probability of two low-complexity dual-branch diversity schemes with the consideration of both minimum carrier-to-interference ratio and the carrier-to-noise ratio constraints is investigated. More specifically, closed-form expressions for this outage probability for selection combining and switch and stay combining in single-interferer Rayleigh fading environment are derived, first under the assumption of perfectly estimated independent diversity paths, then by taking into account the effect of branch correlation and outdated/imperfect channel estimates. When applicable, the results obtained as special cases of the offered generic closed-form expressions are compared with those previously reported in the literature. In addition, some numerical examples are provided and discussed.
