Estimating the distribution of a sum of independent lognormal random variables
TL;DR: Four methods that can be used to approximate the distribution function (DF) of a sum of independent lognormal random variables (RVs) are compared and the results show that the simpler Wilkinson's approach gives a more accurate estimate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symbol-aided plus decision-directed reception for PSK/TCM modulation on shadowed mobile satellite fading channels
G.T. Irvine,Peter J. McLane +1 more
TL;DR: A system employing SADD phase estimation, trellis-coded modulation, interleaving, and amplitude weighting within the Viterbi decoder yielded the best BER performance on the shadowed MSAT channel considered.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Comparison of methods of computing lognormal sum distributions and outages for digital wireless applications
TL;DR: In this article, four methods that can be used to approximate the distribution function (DF) of a sum of independent lognormal random variables (RVs) are investigated and compared and the aim is to determine the best method to compute the DF considering both accuracy and computational effort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interception of frequency-hopped spread-spectrum signals
TL;DR: A frequency-hopped spread-spectrum signal is modeled as a sinusoid that has one of N random frequencies and coherent and noncoherent interception receiver structures based on Neyman-Pearson detection theory are determined.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Calculating error probabilities for DS-CDMA systems: when not to use the Gaussian approximation
M.O. Sunay,Peter J. McLane +1 more
TL;DR: Error probabilities for various unbalanced DS-CDMA systems are calculated using the standardGaussian approximation, improved Gaussian approximation and the Fourier series based schemes to give accurate results without computational complexity.
