... NetworkingDnt;mfor the following reception methods: (1)demodulationwithout combining, (2)EGC,and(3)MRC.Note that the SINR for each combining scenario (i.e.,without combining, EGC, or MRC) ... signal-to-interference-and-noiseratio (SINR) is derived. The BER of equal gain combining (EGC) and maximal ratio combining (MRC) w ith MIMO-OFDM isalso derived. The simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the theoretical ... reduced considerably by exploiting the receiving diversity by using either EGC or MRC, as shown in Figures 6, 7, 8,and9. Without receiver combining, the BER is much worse than that in SISO-OFDM,...
