Upper Bound on the Error Probability for Space-Time Codes in Fast Fading Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
−We present exact union bounds on the error probability of space-time codes in fast Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. Using Craig’s formula for the Gaussian Q-function, an exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of space-time codes is expressed in the form of a single finite-range integral whose integrand involves in the moment generating function (MGF) of a nonnegative random variable. Based on this expression, the exact union bounds for a geometrically uniform space-time trellis code (STTC) over fast fading channels can be obtained by using the transfer function bounding technique.

A tight bound on the error probability of space-time codes for rapid fading channels
This paper presents the performance of Space-Time (ST) codes over rapid fading channels. A tight upper bound on the pairwise error probability (PWEP) of ST codes over rapid fading channels is derived. Also, an upper bound on the bit error probability (BEP) is evaluated using the derived PWEP. The existing and new bounds are evaluated for different QPSK ST codes and compared to the simulation re...
متن کاملPerformance bounds for coded free-space optical communications through atmospheric turbulence channels
Error-control codes can help to mitigate atmospheric turbulence-induced signal fading in free-space optical communication links using intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD). Error performance bound analysis can yield simple analytical upper bounds or approximations to the bit-error probability. In this letter, we first derive an upper bound on the pairwise codeword-error probability for ...
متن کاملGeneralized Union Bound for Space-Time Codes
⎯Gallager’s second bounding technique, also known as the generalized union bound, is employed to derive a new upper bound on the error probability of space-time codes with maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding on quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. The new bound is distinguished by two characteristics: unlike the classical union bound, the new bound is rapidly convergent and is only a few decibel...
متن کاملOn improved bounds on the decoding error probability of block codes over interleaved fading channels, with applications to turbo-like codes
We derive here improved upper bounds on the error probability of block codes which are transmitted over fully interleaved Rician fading channels, coherently detected and maximum likelihood decoded. We assume that the fading coefficients during each symbol are statistically independent (due to a perfect channel interleaver), and that perfect estimates of these fading coefficients are provided to...
متن کاملPerformance and design of space-time coding in fading channels
The pairwise-error probability upper bounds of space–time codes (STCs) in independent Rician fading channels are derived in this letter. Based on the performance analysis, novel code design criteria for slow and fast Rayleigh fading channels are developed. It is found that in fading channels, STC design criterion depends on the value of the possible diversity gain of the system. In slow fading ...
