Level Crossing Rate of L-Branch SC Receiver over α-k-μ Fading Channel in the Presence α-k-μ Co-Channel Interference
Authors: , , , , ,
Abstract: Wireless communication system operating over interference limited, α-k-μ multipath fading channel is considered. Closed form expressions for cumulative distribution function and level crossing rate of the ratio of two k-μ random variables and the ratio of the two α-k-μ random variables are calculated. These expressions are used for evaluation level crossing rate of wireless communication system with L-branches, SIR based SC receiver operating over. α-k-μ multipath fading environment in the presence of co-channel interference affected to α-k-μ multipath fading. Numerical results are plotted to show Rice factor affects and α-k-μ fading severity parameter affects on level crossing rate.
