Abstract :
This work provides the power correlation coefficient of a very general fading model. The model considers the signal as composed of identically/non-identically distributed clusters, allows for stationary/nonstationary environments, and includes many distributions as particular cases, such as the Rayleigh, Rice, Nakagami-m, and Hoyt (Nakagami-q) ones. After deriving the power correlation coefficient of the general model, that statistic is particularized for some important simplified models. Finally, for the Rayleith, Rice, and Hoyt distributions, the power correlation coefficient is investigated in both space domain and frequency domain.
