Second Order Statistics of the Signal in Ricean-Lognormal Fading Channel with Selection Combining

Level crossing rate and average fade duration of signal enve lope of se- lection diversity are numerically determined. Statistica l characterization in fading and shadowing mobile radio communication enveronment are very useful and in this paper that is computed for Ricean fading channels with lognormal shadowing. The results are presented for independent identically distributed div ersity branches when selection combining technique is used.
