This paper considers the statistical distribution of the sum of independent and possibly non-identically distributed lognormal random variables (RVs). Theα–μdistribution is employed to approximate the probability of density function (PDF) of the lognormal sum. Two approaches, e.g., the moment-based and non-linear least square based (LS-based) methods, are used to obtain the parameters ofα–μdistribution. Accounting for maximal-ratio combining (MRC) receiver, an analytical expression of the average bit error probability (ABEP) of theM-ary noncoherent frequency-shift keying (M-NFSK) modulation is derived. Finally, the performances of theα–μapproximation and the ABEP are evaluated via numerical experiments.
