Hi there,
I am doing a project in cognitive radio and i want to simulate spatially correlated log normal shadowoing in collaborative spectrum sensing but i dont know how to do it can any one give me idea i have done simlulation for log normal shadowing but when the cognitive radio are collaborating i dont know where do i have to put the formula for urban and suburban area R(d)= e^-ad as i am using chi squre distrubution method can any one please give me some idea.
