Exact symbol error probability of square M-QAM signaling over generalized fading channels subject to additive generalized Gaussian noise

Abstract

Abstract-This paper considers the average symbol error probability of square Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) coherent signaling over flat fading channels subject to additive generalized Gaussian noise. More specifically, a generic closedform expression in terms of the Fox H function and the bivariate Fox H function is offered for the extended generalized-K fading case. Simplifications for some special fading distributions such as generalized-K fading, Nakagami-m fading, and Rayleigh fading and special additive noise distributions such as Gaussian and Laplacian noise are then presented. Finally, the mathematical formalism is illustrated by some numerical examples verified by computer based simulations for a variety of fading and additive noise parameters.

On the average of the product of two Gaussian Q functions over η − μ and κ − μ fading channels using MRC diversity reception

“…The SEP expression of several digital modulations techniques over η − μ and κ − μ fading channels is expressed as a linear combination of (4), (12) and (15). For example, the SEP calculation of SQAM [26] requires the evaluation of (12) and (15). For pulse amplitude modulation [27] and M-ary phase-shift keying (M-PSK, M ≥ 4) [28], the SEP expression takes the forms of (12), whereas the forms of (4) and (12) are needed to calculate the SEP of rectangular-QAM [27].…”

Performance of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces in the Presence of Generalized Gaussian Noise

“…In this section, we quantify the performance of RIS-assisted communications under different noise models by deriving accurate expressions for the SER and the associated achievable diversity orders. Considering the presence of AWGGN, the conditional SER of an arbitrary modulation scheme can be written as [15]…”
