Review Paper on Generalized Rician Fading

The objective of this paper is to review the progress made so far in Generalized Rician Fading Channel. Generalized Rician fading channel is a recent fading channel. It was introduced in 2001. It has n degrees of freedom. For n=2 generalized Rician fading channel becomes Rician fading channel. For n=2m it becomes Nakagami-m fading channel. So it unifies Rician fading channel and Nakagami-m fading channel. Generalized Rician fading channel gives better performance than other fading channels. Error probability analysis for different modulation schemes using various diversity schemes have been done using coherent or non coherent detection in uncorrelated or correlated rician fading channel.
