Outage probabilities of dual selection combiners in a correlated Nakagami fading with arbitrary fading parameters

An infinite convergent series for outage probabilities of dual selection combiners (SC) in a correlated Nakagami fading channel with arbitrary fading parameters (not necessarily identical) is derived. Moments of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and diversity gain at the output of the combiner are analyzed. The influence of the correlation coefficient on the outage probability is also presented.
