Average BER of BFSK with Postdetection Switch-and-Stay Combining in TWDP Fading

BER of Noncoherent MFSK with Postdetection Switch-and-Stay Combining in TWDP Fading

“…For postdetection SSC Model 1, we have used the analytical results developed in [10] to compute the BER values. Monte Carlo simulation results are also presented to test the validity of the analytical results obtained in Sections III and IV.…”

“…We assume that the fading on the branches are independent and have the same average fading power, i.e.,γ =γ 1 =γ 2 , and the same fading parameters Δ = Δ 1 = Δ 2 and K = K 1 = K 2 . The average BER of noncoherent BFSK with predetection SSC was computed in [10]. For noncoherent MFSK, using similar steps to that of [10, Section IV], we obtain the average SER of MFSK with predetection SSC as…”

“…While analytical results exist for the performance of noncoherent BFSK with predetection and postdetection Model 1 in TWDP fading [9], [10], no analytical results are available for the performance of MFSK with postdetection SSC Model 2 in TWDP fading. In this paper, we obtain analytical expressions for the average bit error rate (BER) of MFSK with postdetection SSC Model 2 in TWDP fading.…”

An Alternative Statistical Characterization of TWDP Fading Model

“…In the last twenty years, the TWDP model has been extensively studied theoretically [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Additionally, its existence is supported by practical evidence both in mmWave 5G communication networks equipped with directional antennas or arrays [21] and in wireless sensor networks deployed in cavity environments [22].…”

“…Accordingly, the closed-form results of performance evaluation (e.g., error and outage probability, etc.) are mostly obtained in approximate forms [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], derived using the approximate PDF expression. However, it has been shown that analysis based on an approximate PDF expression is accurate only for a narrow range of K and ∆ values [1,15], which can only be used for the description of limited fading conditions.…”
