This paper analyzes the performance of wireless code-division multiple access (CDMA) ad hoc networks in the -µ fading environment in terms of the expected progress per hop. Expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative density function (CDF) of the interference power over -µ fading channels are derived by using the characteristic function approach. Furthermore, the CDF for interference power is used to derive the unconditional CDF of the signal-to-noiseand-interference ratio (SNIR), which is utilized to obtain an expression for the expected progress per hop. The corresponding expressions for Rayleigh, Rician, and Nakagami-m fading are presented in this paper as special cases of -µ fading. Numerical results are presented for illustration purposes.
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.
