New simple form for PDF and MGF of Rician fading distribution

This paper provides the novel simple expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and the moment generating function (MGF) of Rician fading. The new representation for PDF has a finite series form. The new form of the Rician PDF is applied to give the new expression for the MGF and average bit error probability (BEP) in terms of Meijer´s G-function. The results from the novel analytical and integral form, performed to verify the accuracy of the proposed formulation, are in perfect agreement. The novel closed form expression advantage is in low complexity and simplicity in computation. This new solution can also be applied to use with other distributions such as double Rician distribution and κ-μ distribution.
