  • Abstract
    In this letter, the joint probability density function (pdf) of the order statistics for a set of correlated Nakagami-m fading channels is derived. This result is useful in analyzing the performance of a variety of diversity schemes which involve branch selection. The derivation also yields a computationally efficient method for obtaining the marginal pdf of the p-th order statistic for a set of correlated Nakagami-m fading channels.
