Selection‐and‐stay combining for multi‐branch (SSTC‐MB) systems is investigated. The mathematical model is first established. Based on the Markovian property of the received signal‐to‐noise ratio, the outage performance is analysed and the closed‐form expression is obtained. Numerical results validate the theoretical analysis and show that the SSTC‐MB system not only enhances outage performance but also expands the applied scope of a diversity system.
