Abstract

In wireless communication systems, the received signal is superimposed by the contemporaneous effects of both shadowing and multipath fading. The conventional composite models fail to capture the outliers in the fading channels. In this context, we portray the significance of the Tsallis’ non-extensive parameter ‘q’ in modeling various fading environments. This paper exploits the well-known q-Weibull probability density function (pdf) in characterizing the composite fading channels. The q-Weibull pdf yields a tight agreement over the generated fading signals. Furthermore, the different performance metrics, viz. amount of fading, average channel capacity, and outage probability, are obtained in closed form. The derived results are validated using rigorous Monte Carlo simulation procedure.
