Outage probability analysis of diversity reception over lognormal fading channels is challenging because the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a sum of lognormal random variables (RVs) does not yield a closed-form expression. Furthermore, traditional asymptotic analysis techniques fail for lognormal fading channels. The well-applied approximation techniques, such as Fenton, Wilkinson, and Schwartz and Yeh approximations, become unreliable when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is high. In this paper, we derive closed-form bounds of outage probability for dual-branch equal-gain combining system over non-identically distributed lognormal fading channels. The bounds are shown tight from low-to-high SNR regimes, which provides an efficient way to evaluate the EGC system without resorting to expensive Monte Carlo simulation or numerical integration. Furthermore, the new analytical expressions can be used to test at what SNR the existing approximation techniques become inaccurate, and can also be used as criteria for system design. |
