Abstract
Diversity combining techniques, due to their extreme effectiveness incounteracting fading effects in wireless environment, have been extensivelystudied in recent years. In this paper, we propose an improved switchedcombining scheme using fuzzy adaptive control, namely, fuzzy adaptive switcheddiversity (FASD), which is applicable for implementation at mobile units.Specifically, the fuzzy adaptive control dynamically adjusts the thresholdlevel, at which switching is performed, based on the present varying channelconditions. By incorporating the statistics of mobile fading channels andextensive simulations, we have achieved an effective system design of FASDwhich has a significant improvement in system performance in terms of both thediversity gain and BER (bit error rate), while maintaining reasonablesimplicity in implementation.
