Abstract :
This paper presents a general fading distribution-the κ-μ distribution-that includes the Rice and the Nakagami-m distributions as special cases. Therefore the one-sided Gaussian and the Rayleigh distributions also constitute special cases and the lognormal distribution may be well-approximated by the κ-μ distribution. Preliminary results show that the κ-μ distribution provides a very good fitting to experimental data
