Title
A simple bound on the outage probability with lognormally distributed interferers
Abstract
We consider the problem of determining the outage probability in a cellular radio system, where the interference is modeled by a sum of lognormal random variables. As no closed form expression is known, bounds can serve as a quick way of evaluating performance. By applying the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, we give a lower bound, computationally simple as it is expressed by a single Q-function. The bound includes the case of correlated interferers and background noise. Numerical evaluation for a range of parameters valid for practical applications, shows good accuracy for moderate variances and improvement over a previously suggested bound. This is especially emphasized when the number of interferers is large.
