Generation of bivariate Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading envelopes
Chintha Tellambura, Dhammika Jayalath · IEEE Communications Letters · 2000
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.
