    Corrections to "Unified Laguerre polynomial-series-based distribution of small-scale fading envelopes''

    In this correspondence, we point out two typographical errors in Chai and Tjhung's paper and we offer the correct formula of the unified Laguerre polynomial-series-based cumulative distribution function (cdf) for small-scale fading distributions. A Laguerre polynomial-series-based cdf formula for non-central chi-square distribution is also provided as a special case of our unified cdf result.Comment: 2 pages, to be published in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology as a Correspondenc

    Emerging cellular technologies such as those proposed for use in 5G communications will accommodate a wide range of usage scenarios with diverse link requirements. This will include the necessity to operate over a versatile set of wireless channels ranging from indoor to outdoor, from line-of-sight (LOS) to non-LOS, and from circularly symmetric scattering to environments which promote the clustering of scattered multipath waves. Unfortunately, many of the conventional fading models adopted in the literature to develop network models lack the flexibility to account for such disparate signal propagation mechanisms. To bridge the gap between theory and practical channels, we consider κ\kappa-μ\mu shadowed fading, which contains as special cases, the majority of the linear fading models proposed in the open literature, including Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m, Nakagami-q, One-sided Gaussian, κ\kappa-μ\mu, η\eta-μ\mu, and Rician shadowed to name but a few. In particular, we apply an orthogonal expansion to represent the κ\kappa-μ\mu shadowed fading distribution as a simplified series expression. Then using the series expressions with stochastic geometry, we propose an analytic framework to evaluate the average of an arbitrary function of the SINR over κ\kappa-μ\mu shadowed fading channels. Using the proposed method, we evaluate the spectral efficiency, moments of the SINR, bit error probability and outage probability of a KK-tier HetNet with KK classes of BSs, differing in terms of the transmit power, BS density, shadowing characteristics and small-scale fading. Building upon these results, we provide important new insights into the network performance of these emerging wireless applications while considering a diverse range of fading conditions and link qualities

    Extended Generalized-K (EGK): A New Simple and General Model for Composite Fading Channels

    Full text link
    In this paper, we introduce a generalized composite fading distribution (termed extended generalized-K (EGK)) to model the envelope and the power of the received signal in millimeter wave (60 GHz or above) and free-space optical channels. We obtain the first and the second-order statistics of the received signal envelope characterized by the EGK composite fading distribution. In particular, expressions for probability density function, cumulative distribution function, level crossing rate and average fade duration, and fractional moments are derived. In addition performance measures such as amount of fading, average bit error probability, outage probability, average capacity, and outage capacity are offered in closed-form. Selected numerical and computer simulation examples validate the accuracy of the presented mathematical analysis.Comment: Composite fading distribution, generalized-K distribution, probability density function, cumulative distribution function, fractional moments, level crossing rate, amount of fade duration, moments, amount of fading, average bit error probability, average capacit
