The method of generating shadowed Ricean fading with desired statistical properties

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a novel simulation model for fading over the land mobile satellite (LMS) channel. Using this model, we generate fading samples that have given first and second-order characteristics. We demonstrate the accuracy of the developed simulator by confirming the analytical results for the probability density function (PDF), level crossing rate (LCR), average fade duration (AFD), and autocorrelation function (ACF) of the fading envelope.
