:Weibull fading

Weibull fading, named after Waloddi Weibull, is a simple statistical model of fading used in wireless communications and based on the Weibull distribution. Empirical studies have shown it to be an effective model in both indoor{{cite journal|doi=10.1109/25.42678|title=Coverage prediction for mobile radio systems operating in the 800/900 MHz frequency range|journal=IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology|volume=37|pages=3–72|year=1988}} and outdoor{{cite journal|doi=10.1109/5.231342|title=The indoor radio propagation channel|journal=Proceedings of the IEEE|volume=81|issue=7|pages=943–968|year=1993|last1=Hashemi|first1=H.}} environments.

In 2005, a theoretical model for a particular class of Weibull distributions was described by Sagias and Karagiannidis,{{cite journal|doi=10.1109/TIT.2005.855598|title=Gaussian Class Multivariate Weibull Distributions: Theory and Applications in Fading Channels|journal=IEEE Transactions on Information Theory|volume=51|issue=10|pages=3608–3619|year=2005|last1=Sagias|first1=N.C.|last2=Karagiannidis|first2=G.K.|s2cid=14654176 }} who also analyzed channel capacity of a wireless channel in the presence of Weibull fading.{{cite journal|doi=10.1109/LCOMM.2004.831319|title=Channel Capacity and Second-Order Statistics in Weibull Fading|journal=IEEE Communications Letters|volume=8|issue=6|pages=377–379|year=2004|last1=Sagias|first1=N.C.|last2=Zogas|first2=D.A.|last3=Karagiannidis|first3=G.K.|last4=Tombras|first4=G.S.|s2cid=3996021 }}
