Abstract
A versatile fading distribution that generalises many commonly used models for multi-path and shadow fading is the so-called generalised-K (KG) distribution. By considering the product of N independent but not necessarily identically distributed (n.i.d.) squared KG random variables (RVs), we derive exact closed-form expressions for the moment generating function, probability density function, cumulative distribution function and the moments of the cascaded KG fading channel. Expressions for the ergodic capacity and the error performance of different digital modulation schemes are also obtained. Based on the above mentioned formulas, we analyse the performance of orthogonal space-time block codes over multiple-input multiple-output keyhole KG fading channels. Various performance evaluation results demonstrate the proposed mathematical analysis.Keywords
