A proof that uncorrelated branch SNRs yield the lowest error rate for MRC receivers operating over Nakagami-m-fading channels.

A proof that uncorrelated branch SNRs yield the lowest error rate for MRC receivers operating over Nakagami-m-fading channels.

We analyze the symbol error rate of a multiple-branch predetection maximal ratio combiner for correlated Nakagami-m-fading channels. Focusing on the correlations between diversity branches, we provide a simple analytic proof, applicable to different modulation schemes, that uncorrelated branches res...
