The trivariate and quadrivariate weibull fading distributions with arbitrary correlation and their applications to diversity reception

The statistical characteristics of the trivariate and quadrivariate Weibull fading distribution with arbitrary correlation, non-identical fading parameters and average powers are analytically studied. Novel expressions for important joint statistics are derived using the Weibull power transformation. These expressions are used to evaluate the performance of selection combining (SC) and maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity receivers in the presence of such fading channels.
