Abstract

We show that an L-branch maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver with an average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) γ in Nakagami-m fading channels is equivalent to an mL-branch MRC receiver with average SNR γ/m in Rayleigh fading channels in terms of symbol error probability (SEP) when mL is an integer. Moreover, the orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) employing M_t transmit antennas and M_r receive antennas with the average SNR γ in Nakagami-m fading channels is shown to be equivalent to an mM_tM_r-branch MRC single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) receiver with the average SNR γ/mM_t in Rayleigh fading channels.
