Abstract: | A new type of hybrid selection/equal-gain combining (HS/EGC) scheme is proposed and analyzed. This scheme dynamically selects the best combination of branches by a simple test and combines them in equal-gain combining (EGC) manner. As a result, the scheme always shows better performance than conventional EGC and selection diversity (SD), and close to maximal-ratio combining (MRC). As an exemplary performance indicator, its average output SNR for dual correlated Nakagami-m fading channels is calculated and demonstrated in comparison with other diversity schemes |
