Error performance of digital modulation schemes with MRC diversity reception over η-μ fading channels

Abstract

This paper provides exact-form expressions for the average symbol error probability (ASEP) of various digital modulation schemes with maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity over independent, not necessarily identically distributed (n.i.d.) -fading channels. The derived expressions are given in terms of the Lauricella and Appell hypergeometric functions and include several others available in the literature such as those for Nakagami-and Hoyt. General asymptotic ASEP expressions are also derived for all the considered modulation schemes which provide useful insights regarding the factors affecting the performance of the considered system. Index Terms-Digital modulation schemes, -fading, average symbol error probability, maximal ratio combining diversity.

On the Fast and Precise Evaluation of the Outage Probability of Diversity Receivers Over $\alpha -\mu $ , $\kappa -\mu $ , and $\eta -\mu $ Fading Channels

“…be a sequence of i.n.i.d α − µ RVs and f * X (·) be defined as in (14) where Ω 0, is given by (15). Then, the IS estimator (13) has a bounded relative error, i.e.…”

“…The performance of 1-D and 2-D RAKE receivers, specifically the outage probability, the ABEP and the Shannon capacity, are investigated. In [15], the authors derived closed-form expressions for the ASEP of different digital modulation schemes using MRC diversity technique over η − µ fading channels, assumed to be i.n.i.d. These expression are given in terms of the Lauricella and Appell hypergeometric functions, evaluated numerically using their integral or infinite series representations.…”

“…Similarly, when M t = 1, U = 1, K = 1 and N r = L, that is, to say in case of i.i.d (correlation coefficient r = 0) fading channels, (24) lessen to [24, Eq. (7)] and (25) diminishes to [24,Eq. (5)].…”
