A Note on the Sum of Correlated Gamma Random Variables

نویسنده

  • José F. Paris
چکیده

The sum of correlated gamma random variables appears in the analysis of many wireless communications systems, e.g. in systems under Nakagami-m fading. In this Letter we obtain exact expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the sum of arbitrarily correlated gamma variables in terms of certain Lauricella functions. Index Terms Gamma variates, Nakagami-m fading, Outage Probability, Lauricella Functions.

Performance Analysis of Space-Diversity FSO Systems over the Correlated Gamma-Gamma Fading Channel Using Padé Approximation Method

We propose an analytical approach to evaluate the performance of space-diversity free-space optical (FSO) systems over correlated Gamma-Gamma (ΓΓ) fading channels. To do this, we firstly derive an infinite series representation for the moment generating function (MGF) of the sum of arbitrarily-correlated ΓΓ random variables (RVs). Then, a closed-form approximate expression for the probability d...

Statistics of Correlated Generalized Gamma Variates

In this paper the most important statistical metrics of the product and the ratio of two correlated Generalized Gamma (GG) random variables (RV)s, raised to an arbitrary power, are studied. The probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) have been derived in most cases in closed form. Moreover, an upper bound for the CDF of the sum of the two correlated GG ...

A Recursive Approximation Approach of non-iid Lognormal Random Variables Summation in Cellular Systems

Co-channel interference is a major factor in limiting the capacity and link quality in cellular communications. As the co-channel interference is modeled by lognormal distribution, sum of the co-channel interferences of neighboring cells is represented by the sum of lognormal Random Variables (RVs) which has no closed-form expression. Assuming independent, identically distributed (iid) RVs, the...

Comparative assessment of the accuracy of maximum likelihood and correlated signal enhancement algorithm positioning methods in gamma camera with large square photomultiplier tubes

Introduction: The gamma cameras, based on scintillation crystal followed by an array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), play a crucial role in nuclear medicine. The use of square PMTs provides the minimum dead zones in the camera. The camera with square PMTs also reduces the number of PMTs relative to the detection area. Introduction of a positioning algorithm to improve the spat...

A Note on the Strong Law of Large Numbers

Petrov (1996) proved the connection between general moment conditions and the applicability of the strong law of large numbers to a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables. This note examines this connection to a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) and identically distributed random variables. As a consequence of the main theorem ...
