Abstract:  Average symbol error probability (ASEP) and outage probability (OP) of
vehicle-to-vehicle mobile communication system using maximal ratio combining (MRC)
under n-Rayleigh fading channels is investigated. With the characteristic function (CHF)
method, exact and approximate ASEP expressions are derived for shift keying modulation
(PSK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and pulse amplitude modulation
(PAM). Closed form approximate OP expressions are presented. Simulation results shows
validity of the theoretical analysis, and improvement of the system performance with increased
diversity branches and decreased fading factor.
