hi all, just have a few doubts about the pdf of rayleigh fading channel snrs and channel gain... 1)what is the difference between channel gain and received snr? 2)in the proakis book , it says the received snr is exponetially distributed, does it mean the channel gain (if different) is also exponentially distributed? 3) if gain is before adding noise, is received voltage/ transmitted voltage the channel gain or does it have to be received power/ transmitted power? 4)when i square the received envelope to get the power envelope (i assume), and when i draw a histogram, it turns out to exponentially distributed too...why? thank you for taking time to look at these questions....i think they may be fundamental questions but i am having a hard time understanding.....please add other relevant info if necessary.... kc

In the quantity SNR, the S part is the signal power. This is the received signal power independent of the noise . N is the noise. If we assume it is Rayleigh, then it takes the exponential rayleigh distribution. So the ratio S to N will have the same distribution.
Channel gain is not always a gain. Channel gain is something you can write as a link budget of C/N, adding and subtracting as the signal travels through various parts of the channel such as uplink, base station, downlink etc.
