Abstract

The analytic methods of average LCR (Level Crossing Rate) and AFD (Average Fading Duration) are applied in the analysis for the SC (Selection Combining) diversity, which works over the correlated Weibull statistics channel. The dual branch SC diversity was used to prove the accuracy of the derived theoretical formula in this paper. We adopt different probability density functions (pdf) and cumulate distribution functions (CDF) to show the Moreover, the numerical results obtained from computer are verified to the published researches.
