Rician Multivariates For Mimo Systems With Selection Combining

Abstract
Tractable and compact expressions for multivariate cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) in correlated fading environments have been difficult to obtain in wireless communications. In this letter, a new distribution of selection combiner output in correlated and identically distributed (c.i.d.) Rician fading with applications to multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems is derived. The new infinite-series multivariate cdf can be used to mathematically obtain other well-known cdfs in c.i.d. Rician and Rayleigh fading, thus verifying its correctness. Simulation results and detailed discussion are given. Keywords: Multivariate, Rician fading, correlated fading, MIMO, selection combining.
