title = "Application of multipath shape factors in Nakagami-m fading channel",
abstract = "This paper introduces a new application of multipath shape factors that greatly simplifies the description of Nakagamim fading channel. The three shape factors are angular spread, angular constriction and azimuthal direction of maximum fading. They are introduced to describe the first-order and second-order statistics of received signal fluctuations in a multipath fading channel. Analytical expressions for level-crossing rate and average fade duration of the most important second-order statistics are both introduced using the shape factor theory. Furthermore, these three shape factors are applied to first-order and second-order Nakagami-m fading channel, then comparison of reduced fading channel with three shape factor and Nakagami-m fading channel is given.",
