On the Utility of Gamma Pdf in Modeling Shadow Fading (slow Fading)

چکیده
Shadow fading causes random fluctuations of the envelope mean at the mobile. The lognormal distribution is widely accepted for this phenomenon. In this paper we argue that, based on theoretical results and measured data, gamma distribution does the job as well. Then we show that by using the gamma distribution and in contrast with the use of the lognormal distribution, we can obtain easy-to-use and closed-form composite PDFs for fading channels, which in turn extremely simplify analytic calculations.

A simple alternative to the lognormal model of shadow fading in terrestrial and satellite channels
The distribution of the local average power at the land mobile is widely accepted to be lognormal in both terrestrial and satellite channels. However, the mathematical form of the lognormal distribution is not convenient for analytic calculations. In this paper, we show the utility of the gamma distribution for shadow fading, in both terrestrial and satellite channels, using empirical data. Fur...
متن کاملEnvelope PDF in Multipath Fading Channels with Random Number of Paths and Nonuniform Phase Distributions
In a multipath fading channel, the transmitted signal travels through several different paths to the receiver. In each path, amplitude and phase of the signal vary in a random manner. It is common to consider the number of paths as a large constant and to model random fluctuations of the phase by the uniform probability density function (PDF). However, these assumptions are not realistic in man...

متن کاملThe κ − μ / Inverse Gamma Fading Model
Statistical distributions have been extensively used in modeling fading effects in conventional and modern wireless communications. In the present work, we propose a novel κ− μ composite shadowed fading model, which is based on the valid assumption that the mean signal power follows the inverse gamma distribution instead of the lognormal or commonly used gamma distributions. This distribution h...
