Abstract In this study, the cascaded double shadowed fading model is mathematically introduced. A novel expression is obtained for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the cascaded double shadowed fading channels by using Meijer’s G function and Laplace transform. Based on the obtained CDF expression, the exact and asymptotic expressions are derived for the outage probability (OP), the bit error rate (BER) for various modulations of the considered channel model. The OP and the average BER curves with exact simulations obtained by the proposed expressions are presented for different parameters and modulation schemes of the considered channel model. Finally, the accuracy of the derived OP and the average BER expressions is confirmed.

AbstractIn this paper, a detailed performance analysis of switch-and-stay combining receivers over non identical distributed extended generalized K fading channels is presented. The analysis has been performed in both noise and interference-limited environments (the level of interference or noise is ignored, respectively). The expressions for the output signal-to-noise (SNR) and signal-to-interference (SIR) probability density function and cumulative distribution function, in a form of Fox's H functions, are presented. Based on this, analytical expressions for evaluating the moments, outage probability, average bit error rate and average channel capacity are derived. The influence of fading and shadowing phenomena, as well as the influence of unbalanced input SNR/SIR on the most important performance metrics is obtained. Presented numerical results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations.

We look at the issue of obtaining a variance like measure associated with probability distributions over ordinal sets. We call these dissonance measures. We specify some general properties desired in these dissonance measures. The centrality of the cumulative distribution function in formulating the concept of dissonance is pointed out. We introduce some specific examples of measures of dissonance.
