Abstract
The average level crossing rates (LCR) and the average channel capacity are evaluated for the correlated Nakagami fading channel with multi-branch antenna diversity and the maximal ratio combining (MRC). An upper bound and a lower bound on the average channel capacity are derived. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance of the correlated Nakagami fading channel using the spatial MRC diversity
