heal.abstract	The Inverse Gaussian (IG) distribution is examined for modeling the rainfall rate and slant path and terrestrial link rain attenuation. The long-term statistics of rain rate and rain attenuation are modeled using the IG distribution. The method is validated using the recommendation of International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendation ITU-R. P. 837 and rain rate data from the ITU Study Group 3 database (DBSG3) database for the case of rain rate. For the modeling of rain attenuation, data which are derived from two databases of DBSG3, these of Earth-space links and line-of-sight terrestrial links are used for validating the model. The results are compared to the one using the lognormal distribution. It has been shown that IG distribution could be more appropriate for modeling rainfall rate and slant path and terrestrial link rain attenuation. Finally, some useful conclusions are derived and presented in this paper. © 2012 IEEE.	en
