Information outage probability of distributed STBCs over Nakagami fading channels

Space-time block codes (STBCs) allow utilising the diversity provided by multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication channels, thereby decreasing the outage probability for a given communication rate. The contribution of this letter is the derivation of a closed-form expression of the outage probability of distributed STBCs deployed over Nakagami flat fading channels with different channel gains and fading parameters.
