Many researchers have analyzed the outage probability of wireless static networks over the Rician fading channel in recent years. However, few researchers consider the mobile wireless network models over the Rician fading channel environment. Due to the dynamic changing topologies of the mobile wireless networks, the methods used in the static wireless networks cannot be directly used in the mobile wireless networks. In this paper, we study the received power and the outage probability over Rician fading channel under the mobile wireless network scenarios. We analyze the Probability Density Function (pdf) of the received power and also give out a calculation formula of the outage probability of the Rician fading channel. Besides, we have considered the Random Way-Point (RWP) model and path loss exponent of onedimensional(1-D), two-dimensional(2-D) and three-dimensional(3-D) development of nodes. We compare with the influences of the system parameters on the outage probability as well as the influences of the parameters of path loss. We also use the Bit Error Ratio (BER) to evaluate this fading channel. The simulation results indicate that the outage probability is much better when compared with η − µ fading channel for the same signal in this paper. Besides, the performance of the outage probability is different for different dimension modes. Especially, the 1-D model has the best outage probability when compared with 2-D and 3-D situations. The simulation results also indicate that the maximum value of the pdf in a given range for the received power is different under the different dimensions. That is to say, for the 1-D, the range of peak value is from 5 to 10, while for the 2-D and 3D, this range is changed from 10 to 20.
