The performance of the effective capacity metric under Fisher–Snedecor F fading channels is investigated. To this end, a novel exact closed‐form expression for the effective capacity is derived. Furthermore, in order to gain more insight, a simple asymptotic expression at the high signal‐to‐noise ratio regime is also provided. Additionally, expressions for the effective capacity of the Nakagami‐ m and Rayleigh distributions are deduced from the proposed results as special cases. The analytical results are compared to Monte‐Carlo simulations to prove the correctness of the analysis. The results show that fading has a more positive influence on effective capacity performance than shadowing.
