TL;DR: A closed solution is presented showing the composite probability distribution of power levels derived from short term Rayleigh fading with superimposed long term lognormal variations of mean value.
Abstract: A closed solution is presented showing the composite probability distribution of power levels derived from short term Rayleigh fading with superimposed long term lognormal variations of mean value. An example shows how the results can be applied to the prediction of bit error rates in a mobile radio data transmission channel, and how the error rate will vary with standard deviation of the lognormal distribution.

TL;DR: Expressions for probability of block error, P_{f}(M,N) , the probability of more than M errors in a block of N digits, are derived for binary signaling over a channel with very slow nonselective Reyleigh fading and additive Gaussian noise.
Abstract: Expressions for probability of block error, P_{f}(M,N) , the probability of more than M errors in a block of N digits, are derived for binary signaling over a channel with very slow nonselective Reyleigh fading and additive Gaussian noise. The analysis is applicable to noncoherent FSK, coherent FSK, and coherent PSK signaling. An asymptotic expression for the block error probability, suitable for high signal-to-noise ratio, is also derived. Computations of P_{f}(0,N) are presented for a broad range of error probabilities and block sizes, and the characteristics of block error probabilities for the fading and nonfading cases are compared.
