Abstract: In wireless communications systems, one of the most serious problems is fading caused because of multipath propagation. When a received signal experiences fading during transmission, the signal envelope fluctuates over time. Consecuently, fading is modeled as a random process. There is a wide range of statistical models for fading channels. Their accuracy depends on propagation environment and communication scenario. The most frequently used distributions in the available technical literature are Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami-m. Recently, Weibull, Hoyt, α-μ, k-μ, and ?-μ distributions have also obtained some interest. Under such conditions, the closed form expressions for probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) and moments are calculated. Also, the statistics of product, ratio, maximum and minimum of two random variables are studied. The influence of parameters of these distributions on statistics of the product, ratio, maximum and minimum of two random variables is analyzed.
Further, submitted results help the designers of wireless communication systems to simulate different wireless environments and configure system parameters in order to meet the Quality of Service (QoS) demands using the outage probability as important and widely accepted performance measure.
