Simulating Generalized Fading Channels in Python

We present a novel and well tested Python-based library for simulating and computing generalized fading channels considering α-μ, κ-μ, and η-μ distributions. We describe the applicability of this library through common communications engineering use cases such as spectrum sensing and bit error rate computation. The development of the library is open source and its code, along with examples, are available at http://github.com/mirca/maoud.
