This paper considers the analysis of Fisher Snedecor ( F ) fading model with maximum ratio combining scheme. In this context, with the assumption of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) branches, the channel capacity expressions for various power adaptive methods are derived. We further evaluate the expressions for nth moment, amount of fading (AF), and average bit error rate (ABER) for different modulation schemes. To go more insight, the asymptotic and approximate expressions of some performance metrics are derived. The numerical results demonstrate the derived expression and reduce to results of classical fading models such as Nakagami- m and Rayleigh. Moreover, numerical results show an excellent match to the Monte Carlo simulation results that verify the accuracy of derived expressions.
