Abstract :
New, exact expressions for the bivariate Hoyt (Nakagami-q) processes in a nonstationary environment are derived. More specifically, the following are obtained: joint probability density function and joint cumulative distribution function. In addition the outage probability for the Maximal- Ratio and Equal-Gain Combining techniques in a correlated Hoyt channel are obtained. The expressions are mathematically tractable and flexible enough to accommodate a myriad of correlation scenarios, useful in the analysis of a more general fading environment.
