Abstract A composite α-µ/Lognormal fading channel is proposed with several channel performance criteria. This model considers the most effective occurrences in a fading channel, mainly non-linearity, multi-cluster nature of propagation medium, and shadowing effects. The new generation of communication systems is moving towards the use of millimetre waves (mmW). In this type of propagation, large-scale effects of fading channel on the received signal are significant, so in the proposed composite model, the lognormal distribution is considered to model large-scale effects of fading, which is the most accurate distribution to model shadowing. The Gaussian-Hermite quadrature sum is used to approximate the probability distribution function (PDF) of the proposed model. After calculating the statistics, the symbol error rate (SER) and ergodic capacity are computed. The Mellin transform technique is used to calculate the SER expression of different modulation schemes; then, ergodic capacity is computed for a diverse frequency spectrum. Finally, the Monte Carlo method is used to evaluate the analyses.

This paper investigates the performance analysis of OQPSK in HF band for wireless sensor networks. An analytical model for getting symbol error rate (SER) is given in presence of Bi-Kappa noise in HF band. And the SER of OQPSK is given in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channel. Simulation results HF noise as Bi-Kappa noise should be investigated in HF band for WSN.


Fisher Snedecor composite fading model is the combination of Nakagami-m and inverse Nakagami-m distribution. The Nakagami-m is used to characterize the small scale fading, whereas shadowing is modeled by inverse Nakagami-m distribution. In this paper, the closed-form expression for moment generating function (MGF) of instantaneous signal to noise ratio (SNR) over independent identically distributed (i.i.d) Fisher-Snedecor composite fading channel using maximum ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique is derived. By using newly derived MGF expression, we derive the closed-form expressions of average bit error rate (ABER) or average symbol error rate (ASER) for different binary and multilevel modulation schemes. The expressions for average channel capacity (ACC) under two adaptive transmission protocols like optimum rate adaption (ORA) and channel inversion with fixed rate (CIFR) are also derived using proposed MGF. Further, the numerical results of newly derived expression are presented and compared with the results of Rayleigh and Nakagami-m distribution which is the special case of Fisher Snedecor composite fading model.
