Probability of outage in composite fading mobile radio channels

In this paper, a novel analytical approach to developing the probability of outage in shadowed Nakagami-m and Ricean fading channel is presented, where instead of lognormal probability density function (pdf), gamma pdf is used to describe shadowing, providing mathematical framework for deriving performance metrics such as the probability of outage. The validity of the obtained analytical expressions was checked by comparing the results of the according calculations with the results of related Monte Carlo simulations, with very good matching.
