摘要
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 Nakagami-m random variable. Comparisons with physical channel data demonstrate that the proposed composite fading model provides as good, and in most cases better, fit to the data compared to the generalized-K composite fading model. Motivated by this result, simple novel expressions are derived for the key statistical metrics and performance measures of interest.
