On the Multivariate Gamma-Gamma () Distribution with Arbitrary Correlation and Applications in Wireless Communications
The statistical properties of the multivariate Gamma-Gamma ()
distribution with arbitrary correlation have remained unknown. In this paper,
we provide analytical expressions for the joint probability density function
(PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) and moment generation function of
the multivariate distribution with arbitrary correlation.
Furthermore, we present novel approximating expressions for the PDF and CDF of
the sum of random variables with arbitrary correlation. Based
on this statistical analysis, we investigate the performance of radio frequency
and optical wireless communication systems. It is noteworthy that the presented
expressions include several previous results in the literature as special
cases.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Vehicular

A Stochastic Geometric Analysis of Device-to-Device Communications Operating over Generalized Fading Channels
Device-to-device (D2D) communications are now considered as an integral part
of future 5G networks which will enable direct communication between user
equipment (UE) without unnecessary routing via the network infrastructure. This
architecture will result in higher throughputs than conventional cellular
networks, but with the increased potential for co-channel interference induced
by randomly located cellular and D2D UEs. The physical channels which
constitute D2D communications can be expected to be complex in nature,
experiencing both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) conditions across
closely located D2D pairs. As well as this, given the diverse range of
operating environments, they may also be subject to clustering of the scattered
multipath contribution, i.e., propagation characteristics which are quite
dissimilar to conventional Rayeligh fading environments. To address these
challenges, we consider two recently proposed generalized fading models, namely
and , to characterize the fading behavior in D2D
communications. Together, these models encompass many of the most widely
encountered and utilized fading models in the literature such as Rayleigh, Rice
(Nakagami-), Nakagami-, Hoyt (Nakagami-) and One-Sided Gaussian. Using
stochastic geometry we evaluate the rate and bit error probability of D2D
networks under generalized fading conditions. Based on the analytical results,
we present new insights into the trade-offs between the reliability, rate, and
mode selection under realistic operating conditions. Our results suggest that
D2D mode achieves higher rates over cellular link at the expense of a higher
bit error probability. Through numerical evaluations, we also investigate the
performance gains of D2D networks and demonstrate their superiority over
traditional cellular networks.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Generation of bivariate Nakagami-m fading envelopes with arbitrary not necessary identical fading parameters
[EN] In this paper, a generation procedure of two correlated Nakagami-m random variables for arbitrary fading
parameters values (not necessary identical) is described. For the generation of two correlated Nakagami-m
samples, the proposed method uses the generalized Rice distribution, which appears in the conditional distribution
of two correlated Nakagami-m variables. This procedure can be applied to simulate diversity systems such as
selection combiners, equal-gain combiners, and maximal-ratio combiners as well as multiple-input multipleoutput
(MIMO) receiver systems, in Nakagami-m channels.Contract/grant sponsor: Generalitat Valenciana; contract/grant number: GV04B/357.Reig, J.; MartĂnez Amoraga, MĂ.; Rubio Arjona, L. (2007).

Wireless multiuser communication systems: diversity receiver performance analysis, GSMuD design, and fading channel simulator
Multipath fading phenomenon is central to the design and analysis of wireless communication systems including multiuser systems. If untreated, the fading will corrupt the transmitted signal and often cause performance degradations such as increased communication error and decreased data rate, as compared to wireline channels with little or no multipath fading. On the other hand, this multipath fading phenomenon, if fully utilized, can actually lead to system designs that provide additional gains in system performance as compared to systems that experience non-fading channels.;The central question this thesis tries to answer is how to design and analyze a wireless multiuser system that takes advantage of the benefits the diversity multipath fading channel provides. Two particular techniques are discussed and analyzed in the first part of the thesis: quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and diversity receivers, including maximal ratio combining (MRC) and generalized selection combining (GSC). We consider the practical case of imperfect channel estimation (ICE) and develop a new decision variable (DV) of MRC receiver output for M-QAM. By deriving its moment generating function (MGF), we obtain the exact bit error rate (BER) performance under arbitrary correlated Rayleigh and Rician channels, with ICE. GSC provides a tradeoff between receiver complexity and performance. We study the effect of ICE on the GSC output effective SNR under generalized fading channels and obtain the exact BER results for M-QAM systems. The significance of this part lies in that these results provide system designers means to evaluate how different practical channel estimators and their parameters can affect the system\u27s performance and help them distribute system resources that can most effectively improve performance.;In the second part of the thesis, we look at a new diversity technique unique to multiuser systems under multipath fading channels: the multiuser diversity. We devise a generalized selection multiuser diversity (GSMuD) scheme for the practical CDMA downlink systems, where users are selected for transmission based on their respective channel qualities. We include the effect of ICE in the design and analysis of GSMuD. Based on the marginal distribution of the ranked user signal-noise ratios (SNRs), we develop a practical adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme and equal power allocation scheme and statistical optimal 1-D and 2-D power allocation schemes, to fully exploit the available multiuser diversity. We use the convex optimization procedures to obtain the 1-D and 2-D power allocation algorithms, which distribute the total system power in the waterfilling fashion alone the user (1-D) or both user and time (2-D) for the power-limited and energy-limited system respectively. We also propose a normalized SNR based GSMuD scheme where user access fairness issues are explicitly addressed. We address various fairness-related performance metrics such as the user\u27s average access probability (AAP), average access time (AAT), and average wait time (AWT) in the absolute- and normalized-SNR based GSMuD. These metrics are useful for system designers to determine parameters such as optimal packet size and delay constraints.;We observe that Nakakagami-m fading channel model is widely applied to model the real world multipath fading channels of different severity. In the last part of the thesis, we propose a Nakagami-m channel simulator that can generate accurate channel coefficients that follow the Nakagami-m model, with independent quadrature parts, accurate phase distribution and arbitrary auto-correlation property. We demonstrate that the proposed simulator can be extremely useful in simulations involving Nakagami-m fading channel models, evident from the numerous simulation results obtained in earlier parts of the thesis where the fading channel coefficients are generated using this proposed simulator
A General Framework for Performance Analysis of Space Shift Keying (SSK) Modulation for MISO Correlated Nakagami-m Fading Channels
International audienceIn this paper, we offer an accurate framework for analyzing the performance of wireless communication systems adopting the recently proposed Space Shift Keying (SSK) modulation scheme. More specifically, we study the performance of a NtĂ1 MISO (MultipleâInputâSingleâOutput) system setup with MaximumâLikelihood (ML) detection and full Channel State Information (CSI) at the receiver. The exact Average Bit Error Probability (ABEP) over generically correlated and nonâidentically distributed Nakagamiâm fading channels is computed in closedâform when Nt=2, while very accurate and asymptotically tight upper bounds are proposed to compute the ABEP when Nt>2. With respect to current literature, our contribution is threefold: i) the ABEP is computed in closedâform without resorting to Monte Carlo numerical simulations, which, besides being computationally intensive, only yield limited insights about the system performance and cannot be exploited for a systematic optimization of it, ii) the framework accounts for arbitrary fading conditions and is not restricted to identically distributed fading channels, thus offering a comprehensive under standing of the performance of SSK modulation over generalized fading channels, and iii) the analytical framework could be readily adapted to study the performance over generalized fading channels with arbitrary fading distributions, since the Nakagamiâm distribution is a very flexible fading model, which either includes or can closely approximate several other fading models. Numerical results show that the performance of SSK modulation is significantly affected by the characteristics of fading channels, e.g., channel correlation, fading severity, and power imbalance among the Nt transmitâreceive wireless links. Analytical frameworks and theoretical findings are also substantiated via Monte Carlo simulations
MIMO CDMA-based Optical SATCOMs: A New Solution
A new scheme for MIMO CDMA-based optical satellite communications (OSATCOMs)
is presented. Three independent problems are described for up-link and down-
link in terms of two distinguished optimization problems. At first, in up-link,
Pulse-width optimization is proposed to reduce dispersions over fibers as the
terrestrial part. This is performed for return-to-zero (RZ) modulation that is
supposed to be used as an example in here. This is carried out by solving the
first optimization problem, while minimizing the probability of overlapping for
the Gaussian pulses that are used to produce RZ. Some constraints are assumed
such as a threshold for the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In down-link,
the second and the third problems are discussed as follows, jointly as a
closed-form solution. Solving the second optimization problem, an objective
function is obtained, namely the MIMO CDMA-based satellite weight-matrix as a
conventional adaptive beam-former. The Satellite link is stablished over flat
un-correlated Nakagami-m/Suzuki fading channels as the second problem. On the
other hand, the mentioned optimization problem is robustly solved as the third
important problem, while considering inter-cell interferences in the multi-cell
scenario. Robust solution is performed due to the partial knowledge of each
cell from the others in which the link capacity is maximized. Analytical
results are conducted to investigate the merit of system.Comment: IEEE PCITC 2015 (15-17 Oct, India
