Analysis of effective capacity over Beaulieu-Xie fading model

Abstract

This paper presents an exact analysis of effective capacity over the Beaulieu-Xie fading by introducing the concept of delay constraints. This fading model is composed of multiple no. of line-of-sight (LOS) components with some diffuse power. To analyze the effective capacity of this fading channel, the closed-form expressions are derived. Also, the asymptotically analysis by considering the cases of high and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is also investigated to explore the effects of fading parameters on the effective capacity of this wireless fading channel. The obtained analytical results are validated by reducing the expression as a special case of existing fading channels. The numerical results are presented to show the effect of several parameters on the effective capacity.
