Abstract

In a convex domain K in ℝd , a transmitter and a receiver are placed at random according to the uniform distribution. The statistics of the power received by the receiver is an important quantity for the design of wireless communication systems. Bounds for the moments of the received power are given, which depend only on the volume and the surface area of the convex domain.
