Generalised Rice-lognormal channel modelfor wireless communications

Abstract

The Rice-lognormal (RLN) channel model is generalised to include an additive diffuse-multipath component having constant average power. The Generalised RLN (GRLN) model includes as limiting cases many well-known narrowband models, e.g. Rayleigh, Rice, lognormal and Loo. The GRLN probability density functions of both envelope and phase are evaluated.
