Abstract :
In this letter, the cumulative distribution function (and hence outage probability) of the r-th order signal-to-noise ratio from a set of n correlated Nakagami fading branches is studied. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effect of fading correlation and the fading severity parameter. The accuracy of a simple exchangeable approximation is also examined.
