            Abstract : 
Envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of the maximal ratio combining (MRC) output in correlated Rican fading channels is discussed in this paper in a close form, which is similar to that of single path conditions in stationary environment. Besides, with minor approximation we get the analytical formula outage probability. On this base, a simple relationship between ECC and the outage probability is derived, which indicates that ECC can be used to make predictions of outage probability.
