Effective Throughput Analysis of α - η - κ - μ Fading Channels

TL;DR: It is found that the effective throughput improves with the increase of channel nonlinearity and number of multipath clusters, and the high-SNR slope is only dependent on the channel non linearity and the number of multiclass clusters present in the physical channel.
Abstract: The $\alpha $ - $\eta $ - $\kappa $ - $\mu $ fading model is a very useful instrument to accurately describe various radio wave propagation scenarios. In this paper, we study the effective throughput performance of communication systems over the $\alpha $ - $\eta $ - $\kappa $ - $\mu $ fading channels. Novel and exact expressions for the effective throughput over $\alpha $ - $\eta $ - $\kappa $ - $\mu $ channels are derived, and the effective throughput of multiple-input single-output (MISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems over some widely used small-scale fading models are presented based on the derived results. To obtain more understandings on the impact of physical channel characteristics and system configuration on the effective throughput, closed-form expressions for the asymptotic effective throughput at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes are also obtained. The results reveal the underlying connections between different physical channel parameters (e.g., scattering level, phase correlation, channel nonlinearity, multipath clustering, and channel imbalance) and the effective throughput. It is found that the effective throughput improves with the increase of channel nonlinearity and number of multipath clusters, and the high-SNR slope is only dependent on the channel nonlinearity and the number of multipath clusters present in the physical channel.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized the probability density function (PDF) expressed in terms of the programmable multivariate Fox's $H$ -function, and approximated with the mixture of Gaussian (MoG) distribution.
Abstract: This paper begins with the characterization of the sum of $M$ versions of cascaded $\alpha $ - $\mu $ (equivalently, $N*(\alpha $ - $\mu$ )) distributed random variates (RVs), and later on, explores the feasibility and applicability of the obtained results in the recent proposed reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted communications. More specifically, the sum of cascaded $\alpha $ - $\mu $ distributed RVs is exactly characterized by the probability density function (PDF) expressed in terms of the programmable multivariate Fox’s $H$ -function, and approximated with the mixture of Gaussian (MoG) distribution. The approximation accuracy is further validated by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) goodness of fit test. Based on the obtained statistical results, a promising application, i.e., RIS-assisted communication, is considered and evaluated from the effective rate perspective. The exact, asymptotic, and approximated effective rate are derived with closed-form expressions. Finally, our analytical results are further validated using the Monte-Carlo simulation, their accuracy is confirmed with the analytical error indicator. One can conclude that (i) the exact effective rate expression is complex in the manner of mathematical representation; (ii) the MoG-based effective rate expression is simple and provides a highly tight approximation to the exact expression, besides it indeed acts as a highly tight upper bound for the exact effective rate expression; and (iii) the MoG-based solution outperforms the multivariate Fox’s $H$ -function based approach with reducing complexity.

TL;DR: In this article , the secrecy performance of a two-hop mixed radio frequency (RF)/underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system using a decode-and-forward (DF) relay is analyzed.
Abstract: The secrecy performance is analyzed for a two-hop mixed radio frequency (RF)/underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system using a decode-and-forward (DF) relay. All RF and UWOC links are modeled by the $\alpha -\mu $ and exponential-generalized Gamma distributions, respectively. We first derive the expressions of a lower bound of secrecy outage probability in closed-form, and these expressions are used to derive asymptotic expressions in simple functions at high signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, based on the asymptotic expressions, we can numerically determine a suboptimal transmit power for a wide variety of RF and UWOC channel conditions. All analyses are validated using Monte Carlo simulation.

TL;DR: It is found that the performance of system improves as dominant specular power and/or number of transmitter antennas increases or the delay constraint parameter decreases, and provides the important insights into the impact of delay constraint and fading parameters on the ER of considered wireless scenario.
Abstract: This paper presents the effective rate (ER) analysis of a multiple input single output (MISO) system over the Beaulieu-Xie (BX) fading. The closed-form expressions were derived for the exact and asymptotic cases (for high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)). The BX fading channel is extremely useful for characterizing small cell networks, hyper-dense networks, and femtocells, etc. It can also be used for modeling the fading channels for high-speed trains. Numerical results were presented using the derived closed-form expressions and compared with the results obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. Our findings illustrated that the analytical results have a close match with simulation results. In addition, the numerical findings also provide the important insights into the impact of delay constraint and fading parameters on the ER of considered wireless scenario. It is found that the performance of system improves as dominant specular power and/or number of transmitter antennas increases or the delay constraint parameter decreases.

TL;DR: A unified framework for the effective rate analysis over arbitrary correlated and not necessarily identical multiple-input single-output (MISO) fading channels is proposed, which uses the moment generating function (MGF) based approach and ${H}$ transform representation.
Abstract: This paper proposes a unified framework for the effective rate analysis over arbitrary correlated and not necessarily identical multiple-input single-output (MISO) fading channels, which uses the moment generating function (MGF) based approach and ${H}$ transform representation. The proposed framework has the potential to simplify the cumbersome analysis procedure compared with the probability density function-based approach. Moreover, the effective rates over two specific fading scenarios are investigated, namely, independent but not necessarily identical distributed (i.n.i.d.) MISO hyper Fox’s ${H}$ fading channels and arbitrary correlated generalized $K$ fading channels. The exact analytical representations for these two scenarios are also presented. By substituting corresponding parameters, the effective rates in various practical fading scenarios, such as Rayleigh, Nakagami- $m$ , Weibull/Gamma, and generalized $K$ fading channels, are readily available. In addition, asymptotic approximations are provided for the proposed ${H}$ transform and MGF-based approach as well as for the effective rate over i.n.i.d. MISO hyper Fox’s ${H}$ fading channels. Simulations under various fading scenarios are also presented, which support the validity of the proposed method.

TL;DR: The authors study the outage performance of the double shadowed Rician model and investigate the impact of two different shadowing processes on the secrecy performance by deriving novel and exact expressions for secrecy outage performance metrics.
Abstract: The double shadowed Rician model was recently proposed to describe some realistic physical signal propagation phenomena, where a Rician faded signal is impacted by cascaded shadowing processes. In this Letter, the authors study the outage performance of the double shadowed Rician model. More specifically, they investigate the impact of two different shadowing processes on the secrecy performance by deriving novel and exact expressions for secrecy outage performance metrics. The obtained results reveal the following physical implications: (i) when a Rician faded signal undergoes line-of-sight shadowing, which is further cascaded by another round of composite shadowing, the latter form of shadowing imposes larger impact on the secrecy performance; (ii) the widely investigated concept of ‘protected zone’ to improve the secrecy performance should not be limited to the legitimate transmitter but also extended to the legitimate receiver due to the adverse shadowing effect caused by objects in its vicinity; and (iii) the rate of outage performance degradation grows larger as the shadowings become severe.

TL;DR: Analysis of the capacity limits of correlated multiple-input single-output (MISO) channels in the presence of quality-of-service (QoS) requirements suggests that antenna correlation reduce the effective capacity of the channels.
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical performance investigation of the capacity limits of correlated multiple-input single-output (MISO) channels in the presence of quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. Exact closed-form expression for the effective capacity of correlated MISO channels is derived. In addition, simple expressions are obtained at the asymptotic high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes, which provide insights into the impact of various system parameters on the effective capacity of the system. Also, a complete characterization of the impact of spatial correlation on the effective capacity is provided with the aid of a majorization theory result. The findings suggest that antenna correlation reduce the effective capacity of the channels. Moreover, a stringent QoS requirement causes a significant reduction in the effective capacity but this can be effectively alleviated by increasing the number of antennas.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the effective rate is a monotonically increasing function of channel fading parameters α and μ, as well as the number of transmit antennas, while it decreases to zero when the delay constraint becomes stringent.
Abstract: The effective rate is an important performance metric of real-time applications in next generation wireless networks. In this paper, we present an analysis of the effective rate of multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems over α-μ fading channels under a maximum delay constraint. More specifically, novel and highly accurate closed-form approximate expressions of the effective rate are derived for such systems assuming the generalized α-μ channel model. In order to examine the impact of system and channel parameters on the effective rate, we also derive closed-form expressions of the effective rate in asymptotically high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes. Furthermore, connections between our derived results and existing results from the literature are revealed for the sake of completeness. Our results demonstrate that the effective rate is a monotonically increasing function of channel fading parameters α and μ, as well as the number of transmit antennas, while it decreases to zero when the delay constraint becomes stringent.
