Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the Inverse Gaussian (IG) fading distribution to model the envelope and the power of the received signal in radio propagation fading channels and free-space optical (FSO) channels. The joint distribution of the IG process and its derivative and the marginal distribution of the derivative are developed. The obtained formulas are then used to derive the second-order statistics of the received signal envelope and the channel capacity under IG and Nakagami-IG (NIG) fading distributions. Numerical results sustaining our analysis are provided, and the impacts of various parameters on the system performance are investigated.
