Generation of bivariate Nakagami-m fading envelopes with arbitrary not necessary identical fading parameters

In this paper, a generation procedure of two correlated Nakagami-m random variables for arbitrary fading parameters values (not necessary identical) is described. For the generation of two correlated Nakagami-m samples, the proposed method uses the generalized Rice distribution, which appears in the conditional distribution of two correlated Nakagami-m variables. This procedure can be applied to simulate diversity systems such as selection combiners, equal-gain combiners, and maximal-ratio combiners as well as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receiver systems, in Nakagami-m channels.
