When there is no feedback channel in a wireless sensor network or when the sensors are deaf (cannot listen to the feedback channel), the conventional way is to use fixed power transmission. This solution has many limitations such as near-far problem where the relatively far away sensors are blocked by near sensors. Random power allocation was proposed and analyzed for the case of unfaded or Rayleigh faded channel. In this paper we analyze the performance when the channel is distributed according to the Nakagami-m distribution. The case of fixed transmit power and randomly distributed transmit power is considered. The outage probability is evaluated theoretically and validated by Monte Carlo simulations.
