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