Abstract :
The Nakagami-m distribution is an important fading model in wireless communications. The simulation for bi-variate Nakagami-m samples is useful when study dual branch diversity systems in Nakagami-m fading channels. However, no simple and efficient method for simulating Nakagami-m fading channels is available in the literature. This letter proposes a simple efficient method for generating bivariate Nakagami-m fading envelope samples for arbitrary values of m > 0.8.
