Extended α-η-μ Fading Distribution: Statistical Properties and Applications

In this paper, the impact of the non-linearity of the propagation medium on the extended $\eta$-$\mu$ fading distribution is studied. In particular, the extended $\alpha$-$\eta$-$\mu$ fading model in which the parameter $\alpha$ represents the non-linearity of the propagation environment is presented via providing the exact and asymptotic of the statistical properties, namely, the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), and generalized-moment generating function (G-MGF).
