Channel Characterization
A Rician fading channel can be described by two parameters: and . is the ratio between the power in the direct path and the power in the other, scattered, paths. is the total power from both paths, and acts as a scaling factor to the distribution.
The received signal amplitude (not the received signal power) is then Rice distributed with parameters and . The resulting PDF then is:
where is the 0th order modified Bessel function of the first kind.

Famous quotes containing the word channel:
“This is what the Church is said to want, not party men, but sensible, temperate, sober, well-judging persons, to guide it through the channel of no-meaning, between the Scylla and Charybdis of Aye and no.”
—Cardinal John Henry Newman (18011890)
