Outage probability analysis in finite wireless networks operating in LOS environment

Abstract

In this work, we analyze the outage probability in finite wireless networks operating in line-of-sight (LOS) environment with a given statistical distribution of transmitter-receiver distance. To generalize our analysis, we use a recently proposed beta distribution as a substitute to real distance distributions in finite random networks [1]. Path-loss and line-of-sight propagation effects are taken into consideration. Moreover, we also analyze effects of possibly different path-loss attenuations of LOS and non-LOS signal components [2]–[3].
