The research presents the closed-form outage analysis of the newly presented α-modification of the shadowed Beaulieu-Xie fading model for wireless communications. For the considered channel, the closed-form analytical expressions for the outage probability (including its upper and lower bounds), raw moments, amount of fading, and channel quality estimation indicator are derived. The carried out thorough numerical simulation and analysis demonstrates strong agreement with the presented closed-form solutions and illustrates the relationship between the outage probability and channel parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
