The κ-μ / inverse gamma and η-μ / inverse gamma composite fading models are presented and extensively investigated in this paper. We derive closed-form expressions for the fundamental statistics of the κ-μ / inverse gamma composite fading model, such as the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), moment generating function (MGF), higher order moments and amou...

In wireless communication the effect of multipath as well as shadowing takes place simultaneously over the channel and this phenomena leads to composite fading. G-distribution is frequently encountered distribution in wireless fading environment. Combination of multipath fading and shadowing model are used as composite fading model. This composite fading model is named as Gdistribution. G-distr...

In this paper, we proposed a novel efficient method of analyzing the ergodic channel capacity of the cooperative amplify-and-forward (CAF) relay system. This is accomplished by employing a very tight approximate moment generating function (MGF) of end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio of 2-hop multi-relay system, which is In this paper, we proposed a novel efficient method of analyzing the ergodic c...

We consider the use of the Fisher–Snedecor F distribution, which is defined as the ratio of two chi-squared variates, to model composite fading channels. In this context, the root-mean-square power of a Nakagami-m signal is assumed to be subject to variations induced by an inverse Nakagamim random variable. Comparisons with physical channel data demonstrate that the proposed composite fading mo...

In this paper, we have analyzed the channel capacity by using the maximal-ratio combing (MRC) diversity scheme for communication systems operating over a composite fading environment modeled by the Generalized-K distribution at the receiver. For the Generalized-K fading channel with arbitrary values for small and large scale fading parameters, we have derived a closed-form expression for the mo...

This thesis extensively analyses the performance of an energy detector which iswidely employed to perform spectrum sensing in cognitive radio over different gener-alised channel models. In this analysis, both the average probability of detection andthe average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) are derivedusing the probability density function of th...

In this paper, the performance analysis of an energy detector is exploited over composite multipath/shadowing fading channels, which is modeled by Rayleigh-lognormal (RL) distribution. Based on an approximate channel model which was recently proposed by the author, the RL envelope probability density function (pdf) is approximated by a finite sum of weighted Rayleigh pdfs. Relying on this inter...

In this study, the product of two independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) random variables (RVs) for κ-μ fading distribution and α-μ fading distribution is considered. The method of the product model of RVs has been widely applied in numerous of communications fields, such as cascaded fading channels, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, radar communications and cogniti...

Distributed antenna systems (DAS) play a key role in future wireless communications. Despite the increasing previous research work, the channel models of DAS lack generality. This paper presents a holistic and generic channel model, which incorporates path loss, lognormal shadowing, and generalized-gamma fast fading into consideration. This overarching composite channel model encompasses well-k...
