Generation of bivariate Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading envelopes

摘要

The paper presents an algorithm for generating bi-variate Nakagami-m distributed fading envelopes with any desired power cross correlation. For this algorithm, the fading index m should be a positive integer (m=1 for Rayleigh fading). Its applications include dual-branch selection combining diversity, dual-branch switch diversity systems, and wireless channel modeling.
