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

Performance Analysis of NOMA-based Cooperative Relaying in {\alpha} - {\mu} Fading Channels
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is widely recognized as a potential
multiple access technology for efficient radio spectrum utilization in the
fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications standard. In this paper, we study
the average achievable rate and outage probability of a cooperative relaying
system (CRS) based on NOMA (CRS-NOMA) over wireless links governed by the
- generalized fading model; here and designate the
nonlinearity and clustering parameters, respectively, of each link. The average
achievable rate is represented in closed-form using Meijer's G-function and the
extended generalized bivariate Fox's H-function (EGBFHF), and the outage
probability is represented using the lower incomplete Gamma function. Our
results confirm that the CRS-NOMA outperforms the CRS with conventional
orthogonal multiple access (CRS-OMA) in terms of spectral efficiency at high
transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is also evident from our results that
with an increase in the value of the nonlinearity/clustering parameter, the SNR
at which the CRS-NOMA outperforms its OMA based counterpart becomes higher.
Furthermore, the asymptotic analysis of the outage probability reveals the
dependency of the diversity order of each symbol in the CRS-NOMA system on the
and parameters of the fading links.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, accepted in IEEE International

DOI: 10.1109/TVT.2017.2678430We show that the popular and general κ-μ shadowed fading model with integer fading parameters μ and m can be represented as a mixture of squared Nakagami- m̂ (or Gamma) distributions. Thus, its PDF and CDF can be expressed in closed-form in terms of a finite number of elementary functions (powers and exponentials). The main implications arising from such connection are then discussed, which can be summarized as: (1) the performance evaluation of communication systems operating in κ-μ shadowed fading becomes as simple as if a Nakagami- m̂ fading channel was assumed; (2) the κ-μ shadowed distribution can be used to approximate the κ-μ distribution using a closed-form representation in terms of elementary functions, by choosing a sufficiently large value of m; and (3) restricting the parameters μ and m to take integer values has limited impact in practice when fitting the κ-μ shadowed fading model to field measurements. As an application example, the average channel capacity of communication systems operating under κ-μ shadowed fading is obtained in closed-form.Universidad de Málaga.

Eigenvalue Dynamics of a Central Wishart Matrix with Application to MIMO Systems
We investigate the dynamic behavior of the stationary random process defined
by a central complex Wishart (CW) matrix as it varies along a
certain dimension . We characterize the second-order joint cdf of the
largest eigenvalue, and the second-order joint cdf of the smallest eigenvalue
of this matrix. We show that both cdfs can be expressed in exact closed-form in
terms of a finite number of well-known special functions in the context of
communication theory. As a direct application, we investigate the dynamic
behavior of the parallel channels associated with multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) systems in the presence of Rayleigh fading. Studying the
complex random matrix that defines the MIMO channel, we characterize the
second-order joint cdf of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the best and
worst channels. We use these results to study the rate of change of MIMO
parallel channels, using different performance metrics. For a given value of
the MIMO channel correlation coefficient, we observe how the SNR associated
with the best parallel channel changes slower than the SNR of the worst
channel. This different dynamic behavior is much more appreciable when the
number of transmit () and receive () antennas is similar. However, as
is increased while keeping fixed, we see how the best and worst
channels tend to have a similar rate of change.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures and 1 table. This work has been accepted for

Asymptotically Exact Approximations for the Symmetric Difference of Generalized Marcum-Q Functions

Permission from IEEE must be obtained for all other users, including reprinting/ republishing this material for advertising or promotional purposes, creating new collective works for resale or redistribution to servers or lists, or reuse of any copyrighted components of this work in other works. DOI: 10.1109/TVT.2014.2337263In this paper, we derive two simple and asymptotically exact approximations for the function defined as ΔQm(a, b) =Δ Qm(a, b) - Qm(b, a). The generalized Marcum Q-function Qm(a, b) appears in many scenarios in communications in this particular form and is referred to as the symmetric difference of generalized Marcum Q-functions or the difference of generalized Marcum Q-functions with reversed arguments. We show that the symmetric difference of Marcum Q-functions can be expressed in terms of a single Gaussian Q-function for large and even moderate values of the arguments a and b. A second approximation for ΔQm(a, b) is also given in terms of the exponential function. We illustrate the applicability of these new approximations in different scenarios: 1) statistical characterization of Hoyt fading; 2) performance analysis of communication systems; 3) level crossing statistics of a sampled Rayleigh envelope; and 4) asymptotic approximation of the Rice Ie-function.Universidad de Málaga.

On the Monotonicity of the Generalized Marcum and Nuttall Q-Functions
Monotonicity criteria are established for the generalized Marcum Q-function,
\emph{Q}_{M}, the standard Nuttall Q-function, \emph{Q}_{M,N}, and the
normalized Nuttall Q-function, , with respect to their real
order indices M,N. Besides, closed-form expressions are derived for the
computation of the standard and normalized Nuttall Q-functions for the case
when M,N are odd multiples of 0.5 and . By exploiting these results,
novel upper and lower bounds for \emph{Q}_{M,N} and are
proposed. Furthermore, specific tight upper and lower bounds for
\emph{Q}_{M}, previously reported in the literature, are extended for real
values of M. The offered theoretical results can be efficiently applied in the
study of digital communications over fading channels, in the
information-theoretic analysis of multiple-input multiple-output systems and in
the description of stochastic processes in probability theory, among others.Comment: Published in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, August 2009.
