Performance analysis of incremental cooperative relaying system over composite multipath/shadowing fading channels by HENGWei-jun CHENG, Yan HUANG

“…Since the performance metrics of digital communication systems over composite multipath/lognormal fading channels is intractable,a mixture Gamma (MG) fading model is used to approximate Nakagami-lognormal (NL) fading model.By using MG fading channel model,some exact closed-form expressions of the average error rate and outage probability for incremental cooperative relaying system are obtained,respectively,where per hop is independent and non-identically distributed.Finally,numerical and simulation results are shown to verify the accuracy of the analytical results.These results show that it is helpful to approximate the composite NL distribution by using the MG distribution in the performance analysis of cooperative relaying systems.…”

Outage probability and capacity analysis of distributed MIMO systems over a composite fading channel by Wen-jie PENG, Yue-heng LI, Tuan-jie XUE, Mei-yan JU, Ping HUANG

“…The exact closed-form expressions about the outage probability and capacity of distributed MIMO systems over a composite fading channel are derived firstly by using Lognormal approximation to complicated Gamma-lognormal distribution when mobile station (MS) in the cell is fixed at some position and the so-called maximum ratio transmission/selected combining (MRT-SC) and selected transmission/maximum ratio combining (ST-MRC) schemes are adopted in uplink and downlink respectively.Then based on a newly proposed non-uniform MS cell distribution model,which is more consistent with the MS cell hotspot distribution in an actual communication environment,the average outage probability and capacity formulas synthesizing the MS cell position information are further derived.Finally,the accuracy of the approximation method and the rationality of the corresponding theoretical analysis about the system performance are proven and illustrated by computer simulations.…”
