Effective capacity analysis of SIMO system with MRC and SC over Inverse-Gamma shadowing

ABSTRACT

Multiple antennas are usually employed to improve the performance of the wireless communication system. To this context, we derive the effective capacity (EC) expressions for Inverse Gamma (I-Gamma) shadowed fading channel, employing maximal ratio combining (MRC) and selection combining (SC) diversity schemes at the receiver (Rx) side. The channels are assumed to be independent and identical distributed (i.i.d.). In addition to this, we also propose the simplified high-power approximation that enables direct interpretation of the system performance concerning system fading parameters. Furthermore, to diminish the effect of shadowing over composite statistics, macroscopic diversity analysis is presented as an application, where Weibull, and I-Gamma models are used to obtain composite statistics. At last, we validate our proposed formulations through the Monte-Carlo simulation.
