Abstract

Sums of random variables arise naturally in wireless communications and related areas. Here, we provide a review of the known results on sums of exponential, gamma, lognormal, Rayleigh and Weibull random variables. A discussion is provided of two applications. We expect that this review could serve as a useful reference and help to advance further research in this area.
