Abstract
The computation of outage probability in cellular radio system has been extensively studied. The Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) distribution involves the sum of lognormal distributions due to dominant effect of shadowing in both the signal and interference components. Since no closed-form expression can be found for the sum of lognormal distributions, many approximation methods and bounds were proposed in the past. In this paper, Log Shifted Gamma (LSG) approximation is proposed to calculate the sum of correlated lognormal random variables (RVs), hence the outage probability, accurately with a wide range of dB spreads, number of interferers M, correlation coefficients r among interference components, and noise power N. Overall, LSG approximation shows consistent accuracy due to its flexibility over the classical lognormal approximation, especially with small correlation coefficients r and/or large dB spreads.
