Abstract
In this paper, general exact expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration of the envelope of multibranch diversity systems operating on independent non- identically distributed κ-μ fading channels are derived. Our analytical results are validated by reducing them to some particular known cases and by means of Monte Carlo simulation.
