Abstract :
We derive an infinite series expression of the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain for a dual selection combining system under Nakagami-m fading using a series representation of the bivariate cumulative probability distribution function. The average SNR gain expression is shown to relate to the Nakagami shape factor m, the power correlation and the power allocation ratio.
