Nakagami Distribution
Definition
The Nakagami distribution has the density function
with shape parameter µ and scale parameter ω >
0, for x > 0. If x has
a Nakagami distribution with parameters µ and ω, then x2 has
a gamma distribution with shape parameter µ and scale parameter
ω/µ.

Background
In communications theory, Nakagami distributions, Rician distributions,
and Rayleigh
distributions are used to model scattered signals that reach
a receiver by multiple paths. Depending on the density of the scatter,
the signal will display different fading characteristics. Rayleigh
and Nakagami distributions are used to model dense scatters, while
Rician distributions model fading with a stronger line-of-sight. Nakagami
distributions can be reduced to Rayleigh distributions, but give more
control over the extent of the fading.
