Performance of MIMO System Through Nakagami Fading Channel with Arbitrary Fading Parameters

Abstract

In this paper, the analytical and simulation results of the bit error rate (BER) performance for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with an arbitrary number of transmit and receive antennas are developed for the uplink transmission. The fading channel is assumed to follow Nakagami-m distribution with correlation among branches. The BER is expressed in terms of Lauricella's multivariate hypergeometric function for both independent and correlated antenna branches for BPSK system.

Performance of threshold conditions over independent and non‐identically distributed α – μ fading channels over multiple input multiple output‐orthogonal space time block coding systems

“…A variety of statistical distributions are used to characterise multipath fading and shadowing in wireless communications [3,4]. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in α-μ fading channels which spans a wide range of small-scale fading such as Rayleigh, Nakagami-m and Weibull fading [5][6][7][8].…”

“…In wireless communications, the characterisation of the fading channel is one of the most important topics to be studied to improve the overall system performance [1, 2]. A variety of statistical distributions are used to characterise multipath fading and shadowing in wireless communications [3, 4]. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in α–μ fading channels which spans a wide range of small‐scale fading such as Rayleigh, Nakagami‐ m and Weibull fading [5–8].…”

Performance of super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes over Nakagami fading channels

“…Also in [16], the Pair-wise error probability (PEP) for space time codes in Rician-Nakagami channels was obtain while in [17], the performance of MIMO systems through Nakagami Fading channels with arbitrary fading parameter was conducted. In this paper, the performance of 16, 32, and 64 states QPSK SOSTTC for two transmit antenna given in [10] are evaluated by computer simulation and simulation results shows that SOSTTC designed based on the determinant, rank and trace criteria are suitable in Nakagami fading channel.…”
