On the difference of two chi-square variates with application to outage probability computation.

An expression for the cumulative distribution function evaluated at zero of the difference of two chi-square variates with different number of degrees of freedom is derived and applied to the outage probability computation of cellular mobile radio systems in fading channels. In particular, a generic...
