Abstract: Two kinds of selection combining schemes including generalized selection combining (GSC) and generalized order selection combining (GOSC) are investigated. In the GSC scheme, L strongest diversity branches from a total of R diversity branches are selected and coherently combined by maximal ratio combining. GOSC means that the Lth strongest diversity branch from R diversity branches is selected for reception. Closed-form expressions for the average signal-to-noise ratios of maximum ratio transmission with GSC and GOSC are derived in rayleigh fading channels.
