  • In this paper, we derive exact closed-form expressions for the bivariate Nakagami-$m$ cumulative distribution function (CDF) with positive integer fading severity index $m$ in terms of a class of hypergeometric functions. Particularly, we show that the bivariate Nakagami-$m$ CDF can be expressed as a finite sum of elementary functions and bivariate confluent hypergeometric $Φ_3$ functions. Direct applications which arise from the proposed closed-form expression are the outage probability (OP) analysis of a dual-branch selection combiner in correlated Nakagami-$m$ fading, or the calculation of the level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD) of a sampled Nakagami-$m$ fading envelope.
