On the Statistics and Performance Evaluation of κ−µ/Inverse Gamma Shadowed Fading Channel

In this paper, new closed-form expressions of the cumulative distribution function (CDF), average symbol error rate (ASER), and average channel capacity for κ−µ/Inverse Gamma shadowed fading channels have been derived. The derived expression for the CDF is expressed in terms of the dual variable Hypergeometric Humbert Φ

function and is used to evaluate the outage probability. Whereas, the expressions for ASER and channel capacity are in the form of the Meijer G-function. The expression for ASER is used to evaluate the performance of multi-hop communication links. Our analytical derivations are validated via Monte-Carlo simulation and numerical results.
