AB We introduce a general approach to characterizecomposite fading models based on inverse gamma (IG) shadowing. We first determine to what extent the IG distribution is anadequate choice for modeling shadow fading, by means of a comprehensive test with field measurements and other distributionsconventionally used for this purpose. Then, we prove that theprobability density function and cumulative distribution functionof any IG-based composite fading model are directly expressedin terms of a Laplace-domain statistic of the underlying fastfading model and, in some relevant cases, as a mixture of wellknown state-of-the-art distributions. Also, exact and asymptoticexpressions for the outage probability are provided, which arevalid for any choice of baseline fading distribution. Finally,we exemplify our approach by presenting several applicationexamples for IG-based composite fading models, for which theirstatistical characterization is directly obtained in a simple form.
