Abstract :
An approach to the performance analysis of a triple selection-diversity system over exponentially correlated Nakagami-m fading channels is presented. Closed-form expressions of converged sums for both outage and average error probabilities are derived. Numerical results are presented to point out the effect of the fading correlation, the fading severity, as well as the improvement achieved by the triple selection combining compared with the corresponding dual diversity case.
