The Complex α-μ Fading Channel with OFDM Application
The aims of this paper are threefold: (i) to present a model for the complex α-μ fading channel; (ii) to propose an efficient, simple, and general method to generate complex α-μ samples; (iii) to make use of this channel in order to assess the bit error rate performance of an OFDM system. An analyti...
