Abstract

In this paper, important statistical properties of the double- generalized Gamma (dGG) distribution, a generic modelthat has been used for modeling the double-scattering radio propagation fading conditions, are obtained and investigated. In this context, useful statistical metrics, such as the probability density function, cumulative distribution function, and the moments, are derived. Moreover, the second-order statistics of this distribution are also analytically studied for the first time. Based on them, exact expressions for the outage probability, the average symbol error probability, and the capacity of a transmit antenna selection system operating in a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication environment are obtained. In addition, the level crossing rate and the average fade duration are studied. Simplified asymptotic closed-form expressions have been also obtained and used to investigate the diversity and coding gains.
