A novel moment generating function based performance analysis over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels

Abstract

The bit-error rate and channel capacity have been regarded as fundamental information theoretic performance measure to predict the maximum information rate of a communication system. In contrast, with the analysis of other important performance measures of the wireless communication systems, a novel and unified general approach for computing the bit-error-rate and channel capacity over the correlated Nakagam-m fading channels have been proposed. In this paper, we have analyzed and numerically simulated the bit-error-rate and channel capacity of the correlated Nakagami-m fading channel by using the moment generating function (MGF) based approach. The derived mathematical expression for the channel capacity is in terms of the Meijer G function which is valid for both integer and non-integer values of the fading parameters.

Marginal Moment Generating Function Based Analysis of Channel Capacity Over Correlated Nakagami-M Fading With Maximal-Ratio Combining Diversity

“…The assumption of identical power is reasonable if the diversity channels are closely spaced and the gain of each channel is such that all the noise power is same in each [18]. The instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at output of MRC diversity is given by [18][19][20]:…”

Radio Relay System With Two-Section Performance in the Presence of Nakagami-M Fading and Rician Co-Channel Interference

“…Nakagami-m*Nakagami-m distribution becomes one sided Gaussian*one sided Gaussian distribution [4], [5], [6], [7]. In considered relay communication system resulting signal to interference ratio can be calculated as the ratio of two Nakagami-m random variables and Rician random variable.…”

New Exact and Asymptotic Results of Dual-Branch MRC over Correlated Nakagami-m Fading Channels

“…Furthermore, closed-form expressions of the OP, BER and ergodic capacity of MRC over correlated Nakagamim fading channels has been derived by Karagiannidis et al [10] but the results are valid for integer fading parameters. In addition, dual-branch MRC performance has been investigated in [11] for identically distributed and correlated branches. However, to our best knowledge no closed-form or simple asymptotic expressions for the performance of MRC are available in the literature.…”
