Influence of Cut-off Level and α-k-µ Distribution Parameters on Outage Probability and Amount of Fading

In this paper we investigate influence of cut off level and parameters of fading model on outage probability and amount of fading in a wireless communication system. We use α-k-µ distribution to represent mathematical fading model. We derive analytical expressions for n-th moment, amount of fading and outage probability when we use diversity combiner with L input branches at receiver. From obtained analytical expressions we show graphical results of outage probability for different values of parameters α, k and µ and different number of receiver branches.
