Generation of Nakagami-m Statistics by Monte Carlo Method for Fading Communication Channels

Nakagami-m distributions for varying fading parameter m are widely accepted as best fit to model multipath propagation from severe to light fading. Although simulation results based on approximation of inverse cumulative distribution function are reported recently, very few results are there based on Monte Carlo generation of such random variates. In this paper, statistics for Nakagami-m distribution are generated from Monte Carlo simulation, and results are corroborated with theoretical values of expectations and autocorrelation function.
