L. Izzo et M. Tanda, ASYMPTOTICALLY OPTIMUM DIVERSITY DETECTION IN CORRELATED NON-GAUSSIANNOISE, IEEE transactions on communications, 44(5), 1996, pp. 542-545
The letter deals with noncoherent diversity detection of bandpass sign
als subject to slow and nonselective fading and embedded in correlated
non-Gaussian noise modeled as a spherically invariant random process,
At first, an asymptotic sufficient statistic for arbitrary fading law
s on the diversity branches is derived; then, the asymptotically optim
um detector for Rayleigh-distributed amplitude fluctuations is synthes
ized and its performance is assessed.
