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-multipleoutput
(MIMO) systems is derived. The new infinite-series multivariate cdf can be used to mathematically obtain other wellknown
cdfs in c.i.d. Rician and Rayleigh fading, thus verifying its correctness. Simulation results and detailed discussion are
given.
