In contrary to Shannon’s ergodic capacity, the delay-constrained effective rate is used to define the maximum data rate of the real-time applications in 5G and beyond networks. The effective capacity (EC) performance of the delay sensitive communication system over Fisher-Snedecor F fading channel with maximum ratio combining is studied. The closed-form mathematical expressions for the EC are derived in terms of Meijer G-function and the effect of different fading parameters on the effective throughput of the system is demonstrated. The simplified asymptotic expression for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and low SNR regimes are provided to gain more insight into the system. The effect of different system parameters on the EC performance is also demonstrated. Simulation results are corroborated along with the numerical results to verify the correctness of the proposed formulations.

与香农的遍历容量相反，延迟约束有效速率用于定义 5G 及以后网络中实时应用的最大数据速率。Fisher-Snedecor F 上延迟敏感通信系统的有效容量 (EC) 性能研究了最大比合并的衰落信道。EC 的封闭式数学表达式是根据 Meijer G 函数推导出来的，并且演示了不同衰落参数对系统有效吞吐量的影响。提供了高信噪比 (SNR) 和低 SNR 机制的简化渐近表达式，以更深入地了解系统。还展示了不同系统参数对 EC 性能的影响。仿真结果与数值结果一起得到证实，以验证所提出的公式的正确性。
