Comments on "MRC performance for M-ary modulation in arbitrarily correlated Nakagami fading channels"

Using the results in the article by Win et al. (see ibid., vol.4, no.10, p.301-3, Oct. 2000) regarding the maximal ratio combiner for correlated Nakagami-m fading channels, we provide a simple analytic proof, applicable to a general class of modulation schemes, that uncorrelated branches result in a...

Description
Summary:Using the results in the article by Win et al. (see ibid., vol.4, no.10, p.301-3, Oct. 2000) regarding the maximal ratio combiner for correlated Nakagami-m fading channels, we provide a simple analytic proof, applicable to a general class of modulation schemes, that uncorrelated branches result in a lower symbol error probability than do correlated branches.
