This book focuses on performance evaluation techniques for wireless systems in fading. It
consists of five parts. The first part introduces system performance measures, types of fading …

Fluid antenna systems (FAS) are an emerging technology that promises a significant
diversity gain even in the smallest spaces. It consists of a freely moving antenna in a small …

To enable innovative applications and services, both industry and academia are exploring
new technologies for sixth generation (6G) communications. One of the promising …

This book offers a comprehensive overview of fading and shadowing in wireless channels. A
number of statistical models including simple, hybrid, compound and cascaded ones are …

The paper explores simultaneous transmitting and reflecting (STAR) reconfigurable
intelligent surface (RIS)-aided rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) communication. A base …

A comprehensive performance analysis of the energy detector over fading channels with
single antenna reception or with antenna diversity reception is developed. For the no …

Previous models for the received signal amplitude of the flat-fading channel that use first-
order finite-state Markov chains are examined. The stochastic properties of a proposed first …

We develop a novel approach to derive the cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) of the
selection-combining (SC) output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in equally correlated Rayleigh …

Ascertaining on the suitability of the Weibull distribution to model fading channels, a
theoretical framework for a class of multivariate Weibull distributions, originated from …

Hybrid-Automatic-Repeat-reQuest H-ARQ has become an indispensable technique in
reliable communication systems. Hence, in this paper we review the state-of-art and …
