| Abstract: | An analytical expression for the switching rate of a dual branch selection diversity combiner in κ-μ and α-μ distributed fadings is derived. Independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) κ-μ as well as α-μ fading channels are considered. The switching rates for dual i.i.d. Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami-m fading channels are special cases of the switching rate for dual i.i.d. κ-μ fading channels. Similarly, the general switching rates for dual α-μ fading channels also include special cases such as Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, and Weibull fading channels. |
