Weibull fading, named after
Waloddi Weibull
Ernst Hjalmar Waloddi Weibull (18 June 1887 – 12 October 1979) was a Swedish civil engineer, materials scientist, and applied mathematician. The Weibull distribution is named after him.

Weibull distribution
In probability theory and statistics, the Weibull distribution is a continuous probability distribution. It is named after Swedish mathematician Waloddi Weibull, who described it in detail in 1951, although it was first identified by Maurice Re ...
. Empirical studies have shown it to be an effective model in both indoor and outdoor environments.
In 2005, a theoretical model for a particular class of Weibull distributions was described by Sagias and Karagiannidis, who also analyzed
channel capacity of a wireless channel in the presence of Weibull fading.
