Multivariate Nakagami-m distribution with constant correlation model

Abstract

In this paper, a multivariate Nakagami-mdistribution is derived using Royen’s gamma distributions of one-factorial accompanying matrices for a constant correlation model. The cumulative distribution function (CDF), the probability density function (PDF) and the covariances are obtained in infi- nite series form. From these results, we derive outage probabilities of selection combiners (SC) in both interference-limited and noise-limited scenarios with a constant correlation model over Nakagami-m fading assuming arbitrary average powers at each input of the combiner.
