An Application of a Semi Markov Model in Predicting the Fading Occurrences in Wireless Communication Channels

Abstract

Highlights• A new mathematical stochastic method for predicting the future signal fading is introduced.• The elements of the Semi Markov Model are presented.• The forecasting of the fading occurrences in dimensions of time and amplitude together is performed.• The occurrences of deep fades are forecasted for the next 1 to 21 unit times.
