Abstract

The second order statistics, such as the level crossing rate and the average fade duration of a generalized Gamma distribution are derived in this paper. Joint distribution of the process and its derivative and the marginal distribution of the derivative is developed. It is shown that apart from the Nakagami case the velocity of the process is dependent on the value of the process. The results are applied to derive some characteristics of error flow in channels with dual mobility, generalized Gamma fading and basic modulations.
