This book offers a comprehensive overview of fading and shadowing in wireless channels. A
number of statistical models including simple, hybrid, compound and cascaded ones are …

This paper presents theoretical characterizations and analysis for the physical layer of
multihop wireless communications channels. Four channel models are considered and …

A simple, novel, and general method is presented in this paper for approximating the sum of
independent or arbitrarily correlated lognormal random variables (RV) by a single lognormal …

Four methods that can be used to approximate the distribution function (DF) of a sum of
independent lognormal random variables (RVs) are compared. The aim is to determine the …

Sums of lognormal random variables occur in many problems in wireless communications
because signal shadowing is well modeled by the lognormal distribution. The lognormal …

Statistical Analysis and Optimization For VLSI: Timing and Power is a state-of-the-art book
on the newly emerging field of statistical computer-aided design (CAD) tools. The very latest …

Within the wide range of issues related to 4G wireless networks, due to the scope of the
ISSTA conference, in this presentation we highlight some segments of wireless networks …

Empirical justifications for the lognormal, Rayleigh and Suzuki (1977) probability density
functions in multipath fading channels are examined by quantifying the rates of convergence …

Ad-hoc Networks, Fundamental Properties and Network Topologies provides an original
graph theoretical approach to the fundamental properties of wireless mobile ad-hoc …

There is emerging interest in more detailed models for wireless shadowing, which may
include nonconstant shadowing variance, non-lognormal shadowing, and, most importantly …
