Effective Rate of MISO Systems Over Fisher–Snedecor <tex-math notation="LaTeX">F </tex-math> Fading Channels

This letter investigates the effective rate (ER) of multiple-input single-output systems over both independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) and independent and non-identically distributed Fisher-Snedecor F fading channels with delay constraints. Novel closed-form expressions are derived for the ER of both aforementioned scenarios. Furthermore, for the i.i.d. case, asymptotic simple closed-form expressions for the ER in high-and low-signal-to-noise-ratios are provided. Physical insights about the impact of channel and system parameters on the ER are also revealed. An interesting finding is that the ER increases with the mean channel power, while it decreases with the delay factor. Finally, the correctness of the analytical results is validated through Monte Carlo simulations.
