An Analysis of Ergodic Capacity Higher-Order Statistics for Multiantenna Communication System in Presence of Generalized Shadowed Fading Channel

Abstract

The research performs an analysis of the communication link quality for the multiantenna system in terms of ergodic channel capacity and its higher-order statistics: fading figure, skewness, kurtosis, which are closely related with the possible capacity/rate deterioration as a result of channel instantaneous fluctuations. To account most of the possible physical effects concerning signal propagation a generalized κ-μ shadowed fading channel model was assumed.
