Abstract

A simple and efficient method for generating correlated multivariate Weibull random variables with arbitrary fading parameters and arbitrary average powers is proposed. The multivariate Weibull random variables generated via this method can be used to simulate the performance of wireless communication systems with any diversity order or channel impulse response length, under arbitrary correlated Weibull fading conditions.
