•The Core Problem:Real-world signals and transmission channels are inherently
corrupted by random, unpredictable variations.
•Probability Models: We use probability distributions to capture this randomness,
turning unpredictable physical phenomena into quantifiable mathematical models.
• Key Definitions:
PDF (Probability Density Function): Defines the likelihood of a continuous
random variable (e.g., noise voltage, signal phase).
PMF (Probability Mass Function): Defines the likelihood of a discrete random variable
(e.g., digital bits, number of users).
CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function): The probability that a random variable
takes a value less than or equal to a specific value.

Geometric Distribution- DiscreteTime Failure,
Retransmission and Search Dynamics.
• Models the number of discrete, independent Bernoulli trials (0 or 1)
required to achieve the first success.
• Retransmission Mechanics: Forms the exact foundation for ARQ
(Automatic Repeat reQuest) protocols by predicting how many
packet transmission attempts it takes to bypass channel noise.
• Directly calculates the exact battery power depletion of remote IoT sensors by
mapping the number of random-access channel attempts needed to establish a
connection.

Uniform distribution-Role inSignal Processing and Wireless Communication
• Uniform distributions are useful for modeling random signals and
errors where all values in a particular range are equally likely.
