Wireless Personal Communications Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Suzuki distribution is a popular model in wireless communications. In this paper, a generalization of it is proposed and two moment estimates derived. The performance of the estimates is assessed by simulation. Finally, applications are discussed for two problems in wireless communications.
