Abstract

The distributions of ratios of random variables are of interest in many areas of the sciences. In this brief paper, we present the joint probability density function (PDF) and PDF of maximum of ratios and for the cases where , , , and are Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami- , and Weibull distributed random variables. Random variables and , as well as random variables and , are correlated. Ascertaining on the suitability of the Weibull distribution to describe fading in both indoor and outdoor environments, special attention is dedicated to the case of Weibull random variables. For this case, analytical expressions for the joint PDF, PDF of maximum, PDF of minimum, and product moments of arbitrary number of ratios , are obtained. Random variables in numerator, , as well as random variables in denominator, , are exponentially correlated. To the best of the authors' knowledge, analytical expressions for the PDF of minimum and product moments of are novel in the open technical literature. The proposed mathematical analysis is complemented by various numerical results. An application of presented theoretical results is illustrated with respect to performance assessment of wireless systems.
