/**
 * \ingroup propagation
 *
 * \brief a Friis propagation loss model
 *
 * The Friis propagation loss model was first described in
 * "A Note on a Simple Transmission Formula", by
 * "Harald T. Friis".
 *
 * The original equation was described as:
 *  \f$ \frac{P_r}{P_t} = \frac{A_r A_t}{d^2\lambda^2} \f$
 *  with the following equation for the case of an
 *  isotropic antenna with no heat loss:
 *  \f$ A_{isotr.} = \frac{\lambda^2}{4\pi} \f$
 *
 * The final equation becomes:
 * \f$ \frac{P_r}{P_t} = \frac{\lambda^2}{(4 \pi d)^2} \f$
 *
 * Modern extensions to this original equation are:
 * \f$ P_r = \frac{P_t G_t G_r \lambda^2}{(4 \pi d)^2 L}\f$
 *
 * With:
 *  - \f$ P_r \f$ : reception power (W)
 *  - \f$ P_t \f$ : transmission power (W)
 *  - \f$ G_t \f$ : transmission gain (unit-less)
 *  - \f$ G_r \f$ : reception gain (unit-less)
 *  - \f$ \lambda \f$ : wavelength (m)
 *  - \f$ d \f$ : distance (m)
 *  - \f$ L \f$ : system loss (unit-less)
 *
 * In the implementation,  \f$ \lambda \f$ is calculated as
 * \f$ \frac{C}{f} \f$, where  \f$ C = 299792458\f$ m/s is the speed of light in
 * vacuum, and \f$ f \f$ is the frequency in Hz which can be configured by
 * the user via the Frequency attribute.
 *
 * The Friis model is valid only for propagation in free space within
 * the so-called far field region, which can be considered
 * approximately as the region for \f$ d > 3 \lambda \f$.
 * The model will still return a value for \f$ d < 3 \lambda \f$, as
 * doing so (rather than triggering a fatal error) is practical for
 * many simulation scenarios. However, we stress that the values
 * obtained in such conditions shall not be considered realistic.
 *
 * Related with this issue, we note that the Friis formula is
 * undefined for \f$ d = 0 \f$, and results in
 * \f$ P_r > P_t \f$ for \f$ d < \lambda / 2 \sqrt{\pi} \f$.
 * Both these conditions occur outside of the far field region, so in
 * principle the Friis model shall not be used in these conditions.
 * In practice, however, Friis is often used in scenarios where accurate
 * propagation modeling is not deemed important, and values of \f$ d =
 * 0 \f$ can occur. To allow practical use of the model in such
 * scenarios, we have to 1) return some value for \f$ d = 0 \f$, and
 * 2) avoid large discontinuities in propagation loss values (which
 * could lead to artifacts such as bogus capture effects which are
 * much worse than inaccurate propagation loss values). The two issues
 * are conflicting, as, according to the Friis formula,
 * \f$\lim_{d \to 0 }  P_r = +\infty \f$;
 * so if, for \f$ d = 0 \f$, we use a fixed loss value, we end up with an infinitely large
 * discontinuity, which as we discussed can cause undesirable
 * simulation artifacts.
 *
 * To avoid these artifact, this implementation of the Friis model
 * provides an attribute called MinLoss which allows to specify the
 * minimum total loss (in dB) returned by the model. This is used in
 * such a way that
 * \f$ P_r \f$ continuously increases for \f$ d \to 0 \f$, until
 * MinLoss is reached, and then stay constant; this allow to
 * return a value for \f$ d  = 0 \f$ and at the same time avoid
 * discontinuities. The model won't be much realistic, but at least
 * the simulation artifacts discussed before are avoided. The default value of
 * MinLoss is 0 dB, which means that by default the model will return
 * \f$ P_r = P_t \f$ for \f$ d <= \lambda / 2 \sqrt{\pi} \f$. We note
 * that this value of \f$ d \f$ is outside of the far field
 * region, hence the validity of the model in the far field region is
 * not affected.

 *
 * This propagation loss model implements the Nakagami-m fast fading
 * model, which accounts for the variations in signal strength due to multipath
 * fading. The model does not account for the path loss due to the
 * distance traveled by the signal, hence for typical simulation usage it
 * is recommended to consider using it in combination with other models
 * that take into account this aspect.
 *
 * The Nakagami-m distribution is applied to the power level. The probability
 * density function is defined as
 * \f[ p(x; m, \omega) = \frac{2 m^m}{\Gamma(m) \omega^m} x^{2m - 1} e^{-\frac{m}{\omega} x^2}  \f]

 *
 * It is implemented by either a ns3::GammaRandomVariable or a
 * ns3::ErlangRandomVariable random variable.

 * The implementation of the model allows to specify different values of the m parameter (and hence different fading profiles)
 * for three different distance ranges:
