For studying performance characteristics of radio channels, the knowledge about the probability density function (pdf) of fading-shadowing effects is essential. K-distribution corresponding to Rayleigh-gamma distribution (RGD) is widely used to approximate a more realistic Rayleigh-lognormal distribution (RLD) which does not have a closed form expression. A new composite Rayleigh-inverse Gaussian distribution (RIGD), an alternative to K-distribution, is analyzed with regards to its suitability and effectiveness in radio channels. Detailed investigations are made to study the performance characteristics of RIGD and K-distribution (RGD) in terms of Kullback-Leibler (KL) measure of divergence. Based on these investigations, it is found that RIGD is better suited for capturing fading-shadowing aspects of radio channels instead of K-distribution. Copyright (c) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
