... statistical analysis of the capacity of N∗Nakagami-mchannels. Specifically, we have studied the influence of the severity of fading and the number of hops on the PDF, CDF, LCR, and ADF of the channel capacity. ... Ψ(1)(·) is the first derivative of the Digamma function Ψ(·) [33, Equation (8.360)]. Inorder to derive the PDF of the capacity of N∗Nakagami-m channels, we need to find the PDF pΞ2∞(z) of the squared ... be used to obtain the expressions for the statistical properties of the channel capacity C(t). Again, by applying the concept of transformation of random variables, the PDF pC(r) of the channel...
