Abstract: In this paper system performances of selection combining over correlated Nakagami-m channels are analyzed. Selection diversity based on the signal to interference ratio (SIR) is a very efficient technique that reduces fading and cochannel interference influence. Fading between the diversity branches and between interferers is correlated and Nakagami-m distributed with exponential correlation model. Very useful closed-form expressions for the output SIR’s probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), and outage probability are obtained, which is main contribution of this paper.
