Detailed Description

Nakagami-m fast fading propagation loss model.


This propagation loss model implements the Nakagami-m fast fading model, which accounts for the variations in signal strength due to multipath fading. The model does not account for the path loss due to the distance traveled by the signal, hence for typical simulation usage it is recommended to consider using it in combination with other models that take into account this aspect.

The Nakagami-m distribution is applied to the power level. The probability density function is defined as

\[ p(x; m, \omega) = \frac{2 m^m}{\Gamma(m) \omega^m} x^{2m - 1} e^{-\frac{m}{\omega} x^2} \]

with $ m $ the fading depth parameter and $ \omega $ the average received power.

It is implemented by either a ns3::GammaRandomVariable or a ns3::ErlangRandomVariable random variable.

The implementation of the model allows to specify different values of the m parameter (and hence different fading profiles) for three different distance ranges:

\[ \underbrace{0 \cdots\cdots}_{m_0} \underbrace{d_1 \cdots\cdots}_{m_1} \underbrace{d_2 \cdots\cdots}_{m_2} \infty \]

For m = 1 the Nakagami-m distribution equals the Rayleigh distribution. Thus this model also implements Rayleigh distribution based fast fading.
