Abstract: Composite multipath/shadowing fading environments are frequently encountered in different mobile realistic
scenarios. These channels are generally modeled different
Composite multipath/shadowing fading. In this paper we
present the performance analysis of composite (Weibull-
Lognormal shadowed) fading. We adopt efficient tool
proposed by Holtzman to approximate composite (Weibull-
Lognormal shadowed) fading. The performance measures of
fading communication systems such as Probability density
function (PDF) of Signal to Noise ratio (SNR), Amount of
fading (AF), Outage probability (Pout) and Channel
Capacity(C/B) will be calculated. Graphical results will be
presented for different signals and fading parameters. The
different expressions that will be provided are of great
importance in assessing the performance of communication
systems in composite channels.

Introduction
Wireless communication channels are impaired by
detrimental effects such as Multipath Fading and
Shadowing [1]. Based on various indoor and outdoor
empirical measurements, there is general consensus that
shadowing be modeled using Log-normal distribution [12-
14]. Fading causes difficulties in signal recovery. When a
received signal experiences fading during transmission, its
envelope and phase both fluctuate over time.
A composite multipath/shadowed fading environment
modeled either as Rayleigh-lognormal, Rician-lognormal
or Nakagami-lognormal are considered in [3-5]. Up to
now, composite multipath/shadowed fading environment
modeled as Weibull-lognormal (WL), has been considered
only in several papers [7, 8]. The Weibull distribution
plays an important role in several scientific fields, but it
has become recently the topic of wireless communications
theory [9], particularly with mobile radio systems
operating in the 800/900 MHz frequency range. The
Weibull model exhibits an excellent fit to experimental
fading channel measurements, for both indoor [10] and
outdoor [11] environments.
In this paper, a simple accurate closed-form using
Holtzmanin [18] approximation for the expectation of the
function of a normal variant is also employed. Then,
simple analytical approximations for the PDF of
Composite/Shadowed (WL) are derived.
System and Channel Models
Here we are taking two uncorrelated channels in presence
of weibull and log normal fading. So PDF of SNR can be
obtained by averaging the PDF of weibull over log normal
fading. Weibull and conditional log normal distributions

Outage Probability
The outage probability is standard performance criterion of
diversity systems operating over fading channels and it is
defined as the probability that the instantaneous error rate
exceeds a specified value, or equivalently, that combined
SNR of MRC falls below a predetermined threshold .

Conclusion
This paper has established a process for estimating the
distribution of Composite/Shadowed (WL) fading. The
procedure uses the Holtzmanian approximations to
estimate the closed form of composite PDF of WL
fading.Successfully we have achieved closed form
equations for PDF. We calculated amount of fading (AF)
and channel capacity (C/B) in closed form. We have
evaluated outage probability in closed form.
Graphical results have been given for PDF of received
SNR, CDF of received SNR and outage probability .
