Weibull fading

Weibull fading, named after Waloddi Weibull, is a simple statistical model of fading used in wireless
communications and based on the Weibull distribution. Empirical studies have shown it to be an effective
model in both indoor[1] and outdoor[2] environments.

In 2005, a theoretical model for a particular class of Weibull distributions was described by Sagias and
Karagiannidis,[3] who also analyzed channel capacity of a wireless channel in the presence of Weibull
fading.[4]
