On the cascaded Weibull fading channel model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new stochastic fading channel model called cascaded Weibull fading is introduced and the associated capacity is derived in closed form. This model is generated by the product of independent, but not necessarily identically distributed, Weibull random variables (RVs). By quantifying the convergence rate of the central limit theorem as pertaining to the multiplication of Weibull distributed RVs, the statistical basis of the lognormal distribution is investigated. By performing Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests, the null hypothesis for this product to be approximated by the lognormal distribution is studied. Another null hypothesis is also examined for this product to be approximated by a Weibull distribution with properly adjusted statistical parameters. r 2006 The Franklin Institute.

On the Performance Analysis of Wireless Receiver in Cascaded Fading Channel
In this paper, we provide a unified analysis for wireless system over cascaded fading channels modeled either by cascaded Nakagami-m or Weibull fading models. These cascade fading models are developed by the product of independent Nakagami-m or Weibull random variables, which are not necessary identically distributed. The performance measures such as amount of fading, average bit error rate, an...

The Weibull distribution is a flexible statistical model for describing multipath fading channels in both indoor and outdoor radio propagation environments. A new closed-form expression is derived for the moment generating function of the Weibull distribution, valid when its fading parameter assumes integer values. The performance of digital linear modulations operating on Weibull channels is s...

متن کاملError-rate analysis of switched diversity receivers in Weibull fading
Introduction: Diversity is an effective and widely used technique for mitigating the effects of multipath fading [1]. Among the well-known diversity techniques, switched and stay combining (SSC) is simple and cheap, though less efficient. In a dual-branch SSC receiver, if the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the first branch falls below a predefined switching threshold, the second b...
متن کاملUnified BER and optimum threshold analysis of binary modulations in simple and cascaded Rayleigh fading channels with switched combining
Following a unified analytical framework, the bit error rate (BER) of several coherent and non-coherent binary modulation schemes are derived for a switched diversity system. The two variants of switched combining (SWC) that have been investigated are switch and stay combining (SSC) and switch and examine combining (SEC). For channel modelling, at first a simple slow flat fading channel is assu...
