A Novel Uncoded SER/BER Estimation Method

Due to the rapidly increasing data speed requirement, it has become essential to smartly utilize the available frequency spectrum. In wireless communications systems, channel quality parameters are often used to enable resource allocation techniques that improve system capacity and user quality. The uncoded bit or symbol error rate (SER) is specified as an important parameter in the second and third generation partnership project (3GPP). Nonetheless, techniques to estimate the uncoded SER are usually not much published. This paper introduces a novel uncoded bit error rate (BER) estimation method using the accurate-bits sequence of the new channel codes over the AWGN channel. Here, we have used the new channel codes as a forward error correction coding scheme for our communication system. This paper also presents the simulation results to demonstrate and compare the estimation accuracy of the proposed method over the AWGN channel.
