Nakagami fading model is widely adopted for analyzing wireless communication systems and diversity combining techniques, hence the ability to generate Nakagami fading signals with arbitrary parameters is important for system design and simulations. In the literature, there are only algorithms for generating correlated Nakagami branches with the same fading parameter. In this paper, we adopt a n...

Future Communication systems will be driven by the concept that how every one can be connected from any where at any time. An essential part of this concept is Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) approach by which services are constantly available and the best use of this WBAN is health monitoring. Indeed, if medical monitoring can be performed wirelessly, the patient is no longer constrained in ...

A unified expression for computing the probability of outage in cellular mobile radio systems is derived. The method handles non-integer Nakagami fading indexes, unequal Rice factors, dissimilar shadowing spreads, unequal transmit powers as well as all the common fading distributions (Rayleigh, Rice, Nakagami-m, Nakagami-q, lognormal-Rice, Suzuki and lognormal-Nakagami-m). The exact outage prob...

Probability density function (PDF), moments of signal and amount of fading (AF) at the output of macrodiversity system in closed form are obtained. Moreover, level crossing rate (LCR) of signal at output of macro diversity system is analytically derived and used to study average fade duration (AFD) of the proposed system. Dual maximal-ratio combining (MRC) is implemented at the micro level (sin...

In this paper, we investigated the end-to-end performance of a dual-hop variable gain relaying system over mixed fading environment. In such environment, the wireless links of relaying system undergo different fading conditions, where one link is subject to the Nakagami-m fading, the other link is subject to the composite Nakagami-lognormal fading which is approximated by using mixture gamma fa...

Abstract: A procedure for determining the probability distribution of the rth order statistic, Gr:L, r 1⁄4 1, 2, . . . , L, among a set of L correlated Nakagami diversity branch gains G1, G2, . . ., GL has been described in David and Nagaraja (2003) and Elkashlan et al. (2008). The results are used to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) of general order selection (GOS), a diversity method in whic...

The probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function of the sum of L independent but not necessarily identically distributed Gamma variates, applicable to the output statistics of maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver operating over Nakagami-m fading channels or in other words to the statistical analysis of the scenario where the sum of squared Nakagami-m distributions a...

In this contribution, we provide an exact BER analysis for M-QAM transmission over arbitrarily correlated Nakagamim fading channels with maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and imperfect channel estimation at the receiver. Assuming an arbitrary joint fading distribution and a generic pilot-based channel estimation method, we derive an exact BER expression that involves an expectation over (at most) 4...

In this paper, we present novel closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of ratio of random variable and product of two random variables for the cases where random variables are Rayleigh, Weibull, Nakagami-m and α-μ distributed. An application of obtained results in performance analysis of multi-hop wireless communication syst...
