Outage Probability of Cellular Mobile Radio in the Presence of Multiple Nakagami Interferers with Similar Fading Parameters : A Correction

Previous available results for the probability of outage with multiple Nakagami interferers with non-integer fading parameters have been derived using the characteristic function approach. This was done by converting an improper real integral, whose integrand has a singularity at the origin, to a contour integral, which was then evaluated using the method of residues. However, the method is mathematically valid only when the real integral exists. In this paper, we show that the existence of the real integral has not been established and the earlier approach is therefore incorrect. For the special case of multiple Nakagami interferers with similar non-integer fading parameters, using a slightly different but rigorous approach, we find an exact expression for the probability of outage.
