Nakagami-m fading modeling in the frequency domain for OFDM system analysis

摘要

Nakagami-m fading modeling in the frequency domain is investigated. For frequency-selective Nakagami-m fading channels, we show the magnitudes of the channel frequency responses to be also Nakagami-m distributed random variables with fading and mean power parameters as explicit functions of the fading and mean power parameters of the channel impulse responses. Based on this new model, the bit error rate performance of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing system with receive diversity over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels is analytically evaluated and some numerical results are given.
