Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 IEEE 81st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring) Conference Start Date: 2015, May 11 Conference End Date: 2015, May 14 Conference Location: Glasgow, United Kingdom Capacity analysis of composite lognormal (LN) shadowed links, such as Rician-LN, Gamma-LN, and Weibull-LN, is addressed in this work. More specifically, an exact closed-form expression for the moments of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a single composite link transmission system is presented in terms of well- known elementary functions. Capitalizing on these new moments expressions, we present asymptotically tight lower bounds for the ergodic capacity at high SNR. All the presented results are verified via computer-based Monte-Carlo simulations.
