Hello all,

The received signal for AWGN channel model is
yk=h.xk+nk where k=1...K
Where xk denotes transmitted signal, h is the channel coefficient. Here h=1. nk is noise signal having variance N.

and
the received signal for Rayleigh channel model is
yk=h.xk+nk where k=1...K
where h is complex scaling factor corresponding to Rayleigh multipath channel

What is the difference between the AWGN and Rayleigh channel models? Is my above understanding correct?

Shruti
