In this paper, we propose a generalization of the
well-known κ-μ shadowed fading model. Based on the clustering
of multipath waves as the baseline model, the novelty of this
new distribution is the addition of an arbitrary correlation for
the scattered components within each cluster. It also inherits
the random fluctuation of the dominant component, which is
assumed to be the same for all clusters. Thus, it unifies a wide
variety of models: Rayleigh, Rician, Rician shadowed, Nakagami-
m, κ-μ and κ-μ shadowed as well as multivariate Rayleigh,
Rician and Rician shadowed. The main statistics of the newly
proposed model, i.e. moment generating function, probability
density function and cumulative density function, are given in
terms of exponentials and powers, and some numerical results
are provided in order to analyze the impact of the arbitrary
intercluster correlation.
