  The research presents the closed-form outage analysis of the newly presented
$\alpha$-modification of the shadowed Beaulieu-Xie fading model for wireless
communications. For the considered channel, the closed-form analytical
expressions for the outage probability (including its upper and lower bounds),
raw moments, amount of fading, and channel quality estimation indicator are
derived. The carried out thorough numerical simulation and analysis
demonstrates strong agreement with the presented closed-form solutions and
illustrates the relationship between the outage probability and channel
parameters.
