Abstract :
A strikingly simple and fast to compute expression is derived for the performance of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) with maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity in a Nakagami (1960) fading channel. The expression is valid for all Nakagami-m parameters. Furthermore, no concession is made as far as the accuracy of the results is concerned.
