By a proper redefinition of its scale parameter, we present closed-form expressions for its main statistics: probability density function, cumulative distribution function, raw moments and Laplace-domain statistics. Then, relevant performance indicators are derived, including the amount of fading, channel capacity, outage probability and error rate. Other applications include diversity reception using selection combining, as well as composite fading modeling. The Lomax distribution is compared to the relevant case of Rayleigh fading, and to other benchmark distributions of similar complexity used in the literature.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía under Grant EMERGIA20-00297}, organization = {European Social and Regional Funds and Junta de Andalucía under Grant UMA20-FEDERJA-002}, organization = {MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 under Grant PID2020-118139RB-I00}, organization = {Universidad de Málaga and TELMA Research Institute}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers}, keywords = {Fading channels}, keywords = {Lomax distribution}, keywords = {Performance analysis}, title = {The Lomax Distribution for Wireless Channel Modeling: Theory and Applications}, doi = {10.1109/OJVT.2023.3342074}, author = {Sánchez, Iván and López Martínez, Francisco Javier}, }
