Performance Analysis of Wireless Sensor Networks over $\\alpha-\\mu/Gamma,\\ \\eta-\\mu/Gamma$ and $\\kappa-\\mu/Gamma$ Composite Channels

Abstract

In this paper, performance of wireless sensor network has been analyzed over $\\alpha-\\mu/Gamma,\\ \\eta-\\mu/Gamma$ and $\\kappa-\\mu/Gamma$ composite channels. Average BERs have been determined for single hop IEEE 802.15.4 links whereas Source to Sink Average BERs have been determined for multi hop links. For multi hop links two scenarios have been considered, 1) all links are independent and identically distributed and 2) all links are independent but having non identical distribution. Monte Carlo Simulations have been performed to validate the results.
