Importance Sampling Techniques for Estimating The Bit Error Rate In Digital Communication Systems

Abstract: We are interested in estimating the bit error rate (BER) for signal transmission in digital communication systems. Since BERs tend to be extremely small, it is difficult to obtain precise estimators based on the use of crude Monte Carlo simulation techniques. In this paper, we review, expand upon, and evaluate a number of importance sampling variance reduction techniques for estimating the BER. We find that mixtures of certain "tailed" distributions with a uniform distribution produce estimators that are at le… Show more

“…• Agglomeration arrangement with Particle Swarm Optimization. The Bit Error-Rate (Ber) is generated using Sampling of Importance [11], with a probability of error that creates a randomized o-setting of the mote's position by ±5% of the real position of the mote: a. 5% Generated Ber: Creates in a random sample of 5% of all Sanet motes providing irrelevant data and coordinate points.…”
