On the Effective Throughput of Shadowed Beaulieu-Xie Fading Channel

With the demanding need for next-generation wireless networks and the emergence of real-time applications in wireless communication, data rate performance over these systems is being researched for different fading channels. This study looked into the effective throughput analysis of the shadowed Beaulieu-Xie composite fading channel. The probability density function based approach is used to derive the expressions of the effective capacity (EC) for the aforementioned system. To get the simplified relationship between the performance parameter and channel parameters, the low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and the high-SNR approximations of the effective rate are also provided. The derived expressions are evaluated for different values of fading and shadowing parameters to study its effect on the EC. Also, the impact of the delay parameter on the EC is investigated. The accuracy of the inferred theoretical expressions is confirmed by the results of the Monte-Carlo simulation.
