A Novel MGF Derivation for α-κ-μ Fading Distribution and Its Application to BER Analysis

Abstract

In this letter, we introduce a novel and straightforward moment generating function (MGF) expression of α-κ-μ fading channels by leveraging the generalized hypergeometric series. Moreover, by utilizing the derived MGF, we further present the bit error rate (BER) approximate expressions for various modulation schemes. Some numerical results are provided to verify the accuracy of our analytical expressions.
