Diversity combining is one of the most effective fading mitigation techniques. The basic design principle of diversity technique influences the development of several advanced wireless transmission technology. In this chapter, we study the design and analysis of fundamental diversity combining schemes. After discussing the basic implementation strategies, we investigate several conventional diversity combining schemes, including selection combining, maximum ratio combining, and thresholding combining. Special emphasis is put on the tradeoff analysis of performance versus complexity among different combining schemes. Finally, we presents the transmit diversity solutions for the multiple antennas at the transmitter scenario.
