N2 - Error performance is one of the main performance
measures and the derivation of its closed-form expression has
proved to be quite involved for certain communication systems
operating over composite fading channels. In this letter, a unified
closed-form expression, applicable to different binary modulation
schemes, for the bit error rate of dual-branch selection diversity
based systems undergoing independent but not necessarily identically
distributed generalized-K fading is derived in terms of the
extended generalized bivariate Meijer G-function.
