Name	Type	Description
RicianFading	compound module	Models Rician fading in wireless channels, which occurs when a signal reaches the receiver through both direct line-of-sight and multipath propagation. The k parameter (in dB) controls the ratio between the direct and scattered signal components, with higher values indicating stronger line-of-sight conditions. This model extends free space path loss with stochastic variations based on the Rician distribution, making it suitable for indoor and urban environments where a dominant signal path exists alongside weaker multipath components.
