摘要

In this paper, the probability density PDF) estimation is introduced in the framework of estimating the Nakagami fading parameter. This approach provides an analytic procedure for finding the fading parameter. Using the copula theory, an accurate PDF estimate is obtained even when the desired signal is corrupted in a noisy environment. In the real world, the noise samples could be highly dependent on the main signal. Copula-based models are a general set of statistical models defined for any multivariate random variable. Thus, they depict the statistical behavior of a received signal including two dependent terms, representative of the desired signal and noise. Previous works in the Nakagami parameter determination have mainly examined estimation based on either a noiseless sample model or an independent trivial noisy one. In this paper, we consider a more comprehensive situation about the noise destruction and our investigation is done in low signal-to-noise ratios. The parametric bootstrap method approves the accuracy of the analytically estimated PDF, and simulation results show that the new estimator has superior performance over conventional estimators.
