Symbol Error Rate of Space–Time Network Coding in Nakagami- $m$ Fading

Symbol Error Rate of Space-Time Network Coding in Nakagami-m Fading

In this paper, we analyze the symbol error rate (SER) of space-time network coding (STNC) in a distributed cooperative network over independent but not necessarily identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Nakagami-m fading channels. In this network, multiple sources communicate with a single destination with the assistance of multiple decode-and-forward (DF) relays. We first derive new exact closed-f...

Symbol error probability of decode and forward cooperative diversity in Nakagami-m fading channels

In this paper, we provide closed-form expressions for the symbol error probability of decode and forward cooperative diversity systems, when operating over independent but not necessarily identically distributed Nakagami-m fading channels. The results hold for arbitrary number of relays, and refer to the M-ary QAM and M-ary PSK modulations. r 2008 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier L...

Nakagami-m Fading Channels

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the analysis of exact symbol error probability (SEP) for cooperative diversity using amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying over independent and non-identical Nakagami-m fading channels. The mathematical formulations for Probability Density Function (pdf) and Moment Generating Function (MGF) of a cooperative link have been derived for calculating symbol error p...

A Semi-Analytical Approximation to the Block Error Rate in Nakagami-m Block Fading Channels

One of the main performance measures of any packet based communication system is the success rate of the packets. A packet is successfully received if the arrival of the packet is detected correctly, header is received successfully, and payload is decoded without errors. At the moment, the probability of failure to decode the payload, i.e., block error rate (BLER), is often obtained by numerica...
