Abstract

Distributed systems are becoming the tool to reach high transmission rates in wireless environments. However, these systems are exposed to macroscopic and microscopic fading because they have the nodes (antennas) spatially distributed. This letter proposes a simple model to compute distributed multiple-input multiple-output capacity in composite Weibull shadowing fading in order to account for both effects, macroscopic (shadowing) and microscopic (Weibull channel).
