Abstract—In this letter, the novel analytical expressions for performance analysis of systems corrupted by interference,
the probability density function, cumulative distribution function over composite GK fading channels, was presented in [3], [6].
and moment generating function of the signal-to-interference In this letter, the interference-limited wireless communica-
ratio are derived for the interference-limited system operating
over the extended generalized-K (EGK) fading channel. Since tion system over composite EGK fading channel is considered.
the EGK distribution can be used for modeling a great variety We derive the novel analytical expressions for the SIR’s proba-
