“…From previous work, the overall SEP for SM system,
is used to derive the bit error probability (BEP) simply as
, where
is the total number of conveyable bits in SM [
11, 19]. Then, the BEP for SM system may then be rewritten as [
19]
where
represents the coefficient of increase in error for SM above that of a SIMO space and
is the density of bits in error for the system.…”
