Abstract

A novel expression of the moment generating function (MGF) of the exponential effective SNR mapping (EESM) signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) over two correlated but not necessarily identically distributed Nakagami-m fading channels is presented. Based on the MGF, a novel expression for the average effective SNR is also presented. Numerical evaluation of these expressions shows that the proposed approach can be a useful and efficient analytical tool in analyzing the characteristics of EESM over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels.
