Abstract

The performance of M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) in the presence of cochannel interference in microcellular radio environments is analyzed. Average bit error rates (BER's) of MPSK using both dual-branch equal gain combining (EGC) and dual-branch selection combining (SC) are derived assuming that the desired signal experiences frequency-nonselective Ricean or Nakagami fading and the multiple interferers experience independent frequency-nonselective Rayleigh fading. Nyquist pulses are used, and perfect coherent detection is assumed at the receiver. The accuracy of the Gaussian interference approximation for diversity receivers is also assessed.
