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 …

Error performance is one of the main performance measures and the derivation of its closed-
form expression has proved to be quite involved for certain communication systems …

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 …

Composite fading (ie, multipath fading and shadowing together) has increasingly been
analyzed by means of the K channel and related models. Nevertheless, these models do …

The rapid advancement of various wireless communication system services has created the
need to analyze the possibility of their performance improvement. Introducing the basic …

The optical wireless communication systems are rapidly gaining popularity as effective
means of transferring data at high rates over short distances. These systems facilitate rapidly …

In wireless channels, multipath fading and shadowing occur simultaneously leading to the
phenomenon referred to as composite fading. The use of the Nakagami probability density …

In recent studies, the average capacity for optimal rate adaptation (ORA) of free-space
optical channels in turbulent atmosphere has been derived in closed form, mainly based on …

In this correspondence, we consider a mixed radio-frequency/underwater wireless optical
communication (RF-UWOC) system with a fixed-gain amplify-and-forward relay, where the …

We investigate transmission protocols for relay-assisted free-space optical (FSO) systems,
when multiple parallel relays are employed and there is no direct link between the source …
