Generation of Nakagami-m Fading Channels

The Nakagami-m fading signals in wireless channels are getting more popular owing to their good fit for empirical data. In this paper, correlated and uncorrelated wide-sense stationary (WSS) Nakagami-m fading simulators based upon the sum-of-low-frequency-oscillators method are proposed. It has been confirmed via computer simulations that the proposed models not only outperform the existing Zhang's Nakagami-m simulator in terms of their statistics, but they also guarantee convergence, which Zhang's does not promise
