The performances of M-ary signals using L-branch maximum ratio combining (MRC) diversity reception in correlated Nakagami fading channels are derived theoretically. The coherent reception of M-ary differential phase shift keying (MDPSK), phase shift keying (MPSK), and quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) is considered. It is assumed that the fading parameters in each diversity branch are identical. The general formula for evaluating symbol error rate (SER) of M-ary signals in the independent branch diversity system is presented using the integral-form expressions.

In this paper, we compared and analyzed the influence of the fading index and the number of branch of diversity in the Nakagami-m fading channel environment when the MRC diversity and the hybrid SC/MRC are applied to the DS/CDMA system. We considered that the number of branches were 2,3, and 4, respectively and applied an individual diversity type according to the number of branches, when nakagami fading index(m) were 1 and 2. We found that when the Nakagami fading index m is small, that is to say, when fading is inferior, the application of a hybrid SC/MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient; however, when the fading environment is good, the application of the MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient. As a result, we verified that when the actual communication environment is inferior, the hybrid SC/MRC diversity that selects a strong signal to be received on an individual number of branches could replace the MRC diversity, as a method to achieve a similar performance by reducing the complexity of the system.

In this paper, we studied the design and implementation of fading compensation systems at aspects of narrowband mobile communication using TTIB SSB. The mobile radio channel with multipath fading places fundamental limitations on the performance of wireless communication systems. The multipath fading is compensated using pilot tone in TTIB SSB. The TTIB transceiver was implemented using the prevailing digital signal processing (DSP) techniques and compensation for the multipath fading was incorporated in the receiver in the form of DSP algorithm. In order to evaluate fading compensation performance in TTIB transceiver, we first used computer simulation. In the simulation results, we found that the TTIB transceiver could compensate for the multipath fading as expected. Second, we carried out some experiments on TTIB transceiver implementation with DSP boards and later with hardwares including RF circuits with center frequency of 145MHz. Through these experiments, we found that fading compensation performance in TTIB transceiver was almost as good as that obtained from simulation.

The focus in this paper is on obtaining tight, simple algebraic-form bounds and invertible expressions for the average symbol error probability (ASEP) of M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) in a class of composite fading channels. We employ the mixture gamma (MG) distribution to approximate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distributions of fading models, which include Nakagami-m, Generalized-K ($K_G$), and Nakagami-lognormal fading as specific examples. Our approach involves using the tight upper and lower bounds that we recently derived on the Gaussian Q-function, which can easily be averaged over the general MG distribution. First, algebraic-form upper bounds are derived on the ASEP of MPSK for M > 2, based on the union upper bound on the symbol error probability (SEP) of MPSK in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) given by a single Gaussian Q-function. By comparison with the exact ASEP results obtained by numerical integration, we show that these upper bounds are extremely tight for all SNR values of practical interest. These bounds can be employed as accurate approximations that are invertible for high SNR. For the special case of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) (M = 2), where the exact SEP in the AWGN channel is given as one Gaussian Q-function, upper and lower bounds on the exact ASEP are obtained. The bounds can be made arbitrarily tight by adjusting the parameters in our Gaussian bounds. The average of the upper and lower bounds gives a very accurate approximation of the exact ASEP. Moreover, the arbitrarily accurate approximations for all three of the fading models we consider become invertible for reasonably high SNR.

In this paper we analyze the performance improvement of the M-ary FSK systems for low power and low data rate applications. This contribution presents a unified analysis of its MRC diversity, uncoded and performance in A WGN, m=2, m=3, Rayleigh and one sided Gaussian fading channels using optimum noncoherent demodulation with Reed-Solomon(RS) codes. The results of this paper should be useful as benchmarks of obtainable performance and as a reference for validating the results of simulation studies when slow fading models are applicable.

In this paper presents the WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) system using the rake receiver over multipath fading and wireless mobile communication environments. The interference between the propagation paths in a multipath fading causes a serious degradation in the wireless mobile communication environments. In order to derive the path interference and reduce the fading effect the rake receiver is used. As a result, the WCDMA system using the rake receiver gives a better performance than the convention WCDMA system over a multipath fading and wireless mobile communication environments.

When the M-ary signal experiences the Rayleigh fading, the diversity schemes can reduce the effect of fading since the probability that all the signals components will fade simultaneously is reduced considerably. The symbol error probabilities for various M-ary signals, such as MDPSK(M-ary DPSK) and MPSK(M-ary PSK), are mathematically derived for the Selection Combining 2(SC-2) and Selection Combining 3(SC-3) demodulation system which requires a less complex receiver than Maximum Ratio Combining(MRC). The propagation model used in this paper is the frequency-nonselective slow Rayleigh fading channel corrupted by the Additive White Gaussian Noise(AWGN). The numerical results presented in this paper are expected to provide information for the design of radio system using M-ary modulation method for above mentioned channel environment.

The symbol error probability of M-ary PSK (MPSK) and QAM (MQAM) systems using the branch with the largest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output of L-branch selection combining (SC) in frequency-nonselective slow Nakagami fading channels with an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is derived theoretically For integer values of the Nakagami fading parameter m, the general formula for evaluating symbol error rate (SER) of MPSK signals in the independent branch diversity system comprises numerical analyses with the integral-form expressions. An exact closed-form SER performance of MQAM signals under the effect of SC diversity via numerical integration is presented. These performance evaluations allow designers to determine M-ary modulation methods for Nakagami fading channels.

Space-Time (ST) codes are known to provide high transmission rates, diversity and coding gains. In this paper, a tight upper bound on the error probability of ST codes over rapid fading channels is presented. Moreover, ST codes suitable for rapid fading channels are presented. These codes are designed using the QPSK and 16-QAM signal constellations. The proposed codes are based on two different encoding schemes. The first scheme uses a single trellis encoder, whereas the second scheme uses the I-Q encoding technique. Code design is achieved via partitioning the signal space such that the design criteria are maximized. As a solution for the decoding problem of I-Q ST codes, the paper introduces a low-complexity decoding algorithm. Results show that the I-Q ST codes using the proposed decoding algorithm outperform singleencoder ST codes with equal complexity. The proposed codes are tested over fading channels with different interleaving conditions, where it is shown that the new codes are robust under such imperfect interleaving conditions.
