The average signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of a generalized selection combining (GSC) scheme, in which the m diversity branches (m/spl les/L, where L is the total number of diversity branches available) with the largest instantaneous SNRs are selected and coherently combined, is derived. A Rayleigh fad...
