	abstract = {The wireless communication services are in great demand nowadays, especially in 5G mobile technologies and beyond. In this frame, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have shown a good efficiency by combating the phenomenon of fading as well as enhancing the performance of wireless communication systems. Particularly, MIMO systems with space-time block codes are promised solutions allowing to provide full diversity over coherent flat-fading channels. In this paper, relying on a highly accurate approximate the probability density function of the sum of correlated Weibull distributions, various performance criteria of MIMO-STBC systems undergoing Weibull fading channels are derived in approximate forms, namely outage probability, average capacity, and average symbol error rate. The accuracy of the aforementioned approximate expressions have been corroborated by the Monte-Carlo simulation method. Further, to gain more insights into the system{\textquoteright}s performance, the impact of the key parameters on the considered MIMO-STBC system reliability are highlighted. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems play a great role in improving performance of wireless communication system and are commonly used to ensure high bit-rate transmission. Space-time block codes (STBC) are a remarkable modulation scheme discovered recently for the multiple antenna wireless channel. They have an elegant mathematical solution for providing full diversity over the coherent, flat-fading channel. In this paper, a method for approximating the probability distribution of sum of independent and identical Weibull random variables is adopted to derive a tight analytical expressions for various performance criteria of STBC{\textquoteright}s coding operating under identical and independent Weibull fading channels (WFC). The proposed Analytical expressions are given in terms of simple, gamma and Fox-H functions. These expressions demonstrate the best fit to simulation results using Monte-Carlo simulation and other statistical methods. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

Our main result is to derive a generalized expression of the probability density function (PDF) of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the EGC output in the case of non-identical WFC. Based on this PDF, accurate approximation of significant performance criteria, such as outage probability (OP), the amount of fading (AoF), and average symbol/bit error probability (ASEP/ABEP), are derived. In addition, we derived the analytical expressions for channel capacities under various adaptation policies such as optimal rate adaptation (ORA), optimal simultaneous power and rate adaptation (OPRA), channel inversion with fixed rate (CIFR), and truncated channel inversion with fixed rate (TCIFR).

	abstract = {In this paper, we study the performance of L-branch maximal-ratio combining (MRC) receivers operating over independent Weibull-fading channels. Our main result is a very tight approximation of the probability density function (PDF) of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output of the combiner. Based on this result, accurate approximation of significant performance criteria, such as outage probability and average symbol error rate (ASER) are derived. We also evaluate the average bit error rate (ABER) for several coherent and non-coherent modulation schemes, using a closed-form expression for the moment-generating function (MGF) of the output SNR for MRC receivers. In addition, we derive some analytical expressions for channel capacity under various adaptation policies such as optimal rate adaptation (ORA), Optimal simultaneous power and rate adaptation (OPRA), Channel inversion with fixed rate (CIFR), and Truncated channel inversion with fixed rate (TCIFR). The proposed mathematical analysis is complemented by numerous numerical results, which point out the effects of fading severity on the overall system performance. Computer simulations are also performed to verify the validity and the accuracy of the proposed theoretical approach. {\textcopyright} 2016},
