C. Mun et al., Approximation of SNR statistics for MRC diversity systems in arbitrarily correlated Nakagami fading channels, ELECTR LETT, 35(4), 1999, pp. 266-267
An approximated probability density function is presented for the SNR in ma
ximal ratio combining diversity systems with an arbitrary number of diversi
ty branches in an arbitrarily correlated Nakagami fading environment. Compa
risons between the exact and approximated distribution show good agreement
over wide ranges of correlation coefficients.
