Abstract

An analytical expression for the switching rate of a dual branch selection diversity combiner in κ-µ and α-µ distributed fadings is derived. Independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) κ-µ as well as α-µ fading channels are considered. The switching rates for dual i.i.d. Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami-m fading channels are special cases of the switching rate for dual i.i.d. κ-µ fading channels. Similarly, the general switching rates for dual α-µ fading channels also include special cases such as Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, and Weibull fading channels.
