TLDR
In this paper, general expressions for the level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD) are obtained for several diversity combining schemes employing two-branch predetection reception of correlated Rayleigh fading signals.Citations

Performance of maximal-ratio diversity systems in a correlated Nakagami-fading environment
TL;DR: The bit error rate (BER) performance of an M-branch maximal-ratio combiner (MRC) for the detection of signals in a correlated Nakagami-fading channel is analyzed and outage probabilities are calculated for the digital radio communication systems via the correlated fading channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical level crossing rates and average fade durations for diversity techniques in Nakagami fading channels
TL;DR: This work provides novel analytical expressions for selection combining and equal-gain combining, and rederive in a more general manner the case of maximal-ratio combining (MRC), and shows that the general results reduce to some specific cases previously published.

Average level crossing rate and average fade duration of selection diversity
Xiaofei Dong,N.C. Beaulieu +1 more
TL;DR: The average level crossing rate and average fade duration of the output signal envelope of a selection diversity combiner, operating on independent, but nonidentical fading input branch signals are derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second-order statistics for diversity-combining techniques in Nakagami-fading channels
TL;DR: Exact and closed-form expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration are presented for the M branch pure selection combining, and techniques, assuming independent branches in a Nakagami (1960) environment are presented.

Analytical level crossing rates and average fade durations for diversity techniques in Nakagami fading channels
C.-D. Iskander,P.T. Mathiopoulos +1 more
TL;DR: It is observed that as the Nakagami m-parameter and the diversity order increase, the behavior of the combined received envelope for EGC follows closely the one for MRC, and distances itself from SC.
