A new performances analysis for MRC receiver over correlated Weibull multipath fading channels

In this study, we present a low computation complexity expressions of many performance indicators of L-branch Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC). We adapt the previous results given for MRC receiver [1] to the case of correlated Weibull fading channels. Additionally, we derive a new formulas for probability density function (PDF) and moment generating function (MGF) of the output SNR in terms of simple polynomial and laguerre generalized function. All the findings are illustrated using MATHEMATICA Software and validated by comparison with earlier results [2]. © 2014 IEEE.
