Simple precise approximations to Weibull sums

Simple and precise closed-form approximations to the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the sum of independent identically distributed Weibull variates are derived. The new approximations find applicability in several wireless communications issues such as equal-gai...

Description
Summary:Simple and precise closed-form approximations to the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the sum of independent identically distributed Weibull variates are derived. The new approximations find applicability in several wireless communications issues such as equal-gain combining, signal detection, linear equalizers, outage probability, intersymbol interference, and phase jitter
