Summary

This module intuitively explains that the poor bit error rate performance of wireless communication systems, compared to wireline systems, is primarily caused by deep fade events in the fading wireless channel, and introduces diversity as a key solution to mitigate these effects.

Key Points

  • Wireless communication systems exhibit poor bit error rate (BER) performance, decreasing only as 1/SNR, unlike wireline systems which decrease exponentially. 
  • This poor performance is intuitively understood to arise from "deep fade events" inherent in the fading nature of the wireless communication channel. 
  • A deep fade event is defined as a drastic dip in the wireless channel's amplitude, where the received signal power falls below the noise threshold, making it indistinguishable from noise. 
  • Quantitatively, a deep fade occurs when the amplitude of the fading channel coefficient 'a' is less than 1/√SNR. 
  • A critical finding is that the bit error rate (BER) of a wireless communication system is directly proportional to the probability of deep fade (P_DF). 
  • For a Rayleigh channel, the probability of a deep fade (P_DF) is approximately 1/SNR at high signal-to-noise ratios. 
  • Deep fade events are caused by strong destructive interference among multiple signal copies resulting from multipath propagation. 
  • The profound impact of these deep fade events significantly degrades the performance of wireless communication systems by increasing the bit error rate. 
  • To combat these disastrous effects and improve the performance of wireless communication systems, the principle of "Diversity" is introduced as a crucial technique.
