On the Second-Order Statistics of Correlated Cascaded Rayleigh Fading Channels

On the Second-Order Statistics of the Instantaneous Mutual Information in Rayleigh Fading Channels

In this paper, the second-order statistics of the instantaneous mutual information are studied, in time-varying Rayleigh fading channels, assuming general non-isotropic scattering environments. Specifically, first the autocorrelation function, correlation coefficient, level crossing rate, and the average outage duration of the instantaneous mutual information are investigated in single-input si...

Maximum achievable diversity order for cascaded Rayleigh fading channels

Introduction: Cascaded Rayleigh distribution is used to model multipath fading in mobile-to-mobile communication scenarios and provides a better fit to experimental data in such scenarios compared to the conventional Rayleigh channel model, see [1] and references therein. Although there is a vast literature dedicated to the performance analysis over Rayleigh fading channels, there are only a fe...

Second-Order statistics of Closed-Loop Power Controller Signals in Multi-Path Rayleigh Fading Channels

On the capacity of spatially correlated MIMO Rayleigh-fading channels

In this paper, we investigate the capacity distribution of spatially correlated, multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) channels. In particular, we derive a concise closed-form expression for the characteristic function (c.f.) of MIMO system capacity with arbitrary correlation among the transmitting antennas or among the receiving antennas in frequency-flat Rayleigh-fading environments. Using th...

Multiuser diversity in correlated Rayleigh-fading channels

This article studies the effect of scheduling and multiuser diversity on the performance of correlated Rayleighfading channels. More specifically, the power-limited channel average rate is obtained for quasi-static correlated fading channels. The results are obtained in the cases where there is perfect or imperfect channel state information available at the transmitter. Simulation results show ...
