Abstract

An efficient approach for the evaluation of the Nakagami-m (1960) multivariate probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) with arbitrary correlation is presented. Approximating the correlation matrix with a Green's matrix, useful closed formulas for the joint Nakagami-m PDF and CDF, are derived. The proposed approach is a significant theoretical tool that can be efficiently used in the performance analysis of wireless communications systems operating over correlative Nakagami-m fading channels.
