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.

It is considered DPSK modulation and the channel is modeled as multipath Nakagami fading type which has been recently taken as a general model in the communication environments in this paper. Most paper assumed that Nakagami fading index(m) of each branch of Rake receiver was fixed the same value in recent years. However, Nakagami fading index(m) of each branch of Rake receiver takes several value through communication environments. In this case, the branch ,which takes a small Nakagami fading index(m), exclude. So we can improve performance. We are considered phase error and analyzed wideband DS/CDMA cellular system. When nakagami fading index(m) takes voluntary value, we analyze BER of wideband DS/CDMA cellular system. Finally, When the branch, which takes a small Nakagami fading index(m), exclude, we analyze BER of wideband DS/CDMA cellular system.

An alternative solution to the problem of obtaining acceptable performances on a fading channel is the diversity technique, which is widely used to combat the fading effects of time-variant channels. The symbol error probability of M-ary DPSK(MDPSK), PSK(MPSK) and QAM(MQAM) systems using 2 branches from the branch with the largest signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) at the output of L-branch selection combining(SC), i.e., SC2 in frequency- nonselective slow Nakagami fading channels with an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) is derived theoretically. These performance evaluations allow designers to determine M-ary modulation methods for Nakagami fading channels.

The performances of M-ary DPSK(MDPSK) for diversity reception theoretically are derived, using an L-branch selection combining(SC) in frequency-nonselective slow Nakagami fading channels. For integer values of the Nakagami fading parameter m, An exact closed-form symbol error rate(SER) multichannel performance that can be easily evaluated via numerical integration is presented. Finally, we compare these analyses with numerical analyses with integral-form expressions for the performance of MDPSK signals under the effect of two-branch SC diversity over slow and nonselective Rician fading channels with additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN).

We derive and analyze a bit error rate(BER) expression of a Gray coded rectangular QAM(R-QAM) signal with maximal ratio combining diversity(MRC) reception over Nakagami-n(Rician) fading channels. The derived result is provided in terms of the Whittaker function and the confluent hypergeometric function. In addition, by performance comparison with M-PSK, we see the Nakagami-n fading channel characteristics. Because the derived expression is general, it can readily allow numerical e·valuation for various cases of practical interest such as line-of-sight (LOS) or satellite communication channel analysis.

In this paper, we investigate the throughput improvement of an adaptive M-ary quadrature modulation (AMQAM) scheme by using new switching thresh-olds over slow frequency nonselective Nakagami-m fading channels. The new switching thresholds are obtained by using the approximated BER expressions with complimentary error functions for each modulation scheme given in AWGN channels. By using the new switching thresholds, we can improve the maximum system throughput. For example, we get the maximum throughput improvement about 0.32 when tile target BER is 10$\^$-3/ and the fading figure m = 3.

Exact average bit error probability (BEP) expressions for mobile-relay-based mobile-to-mobile (M2M) cooperative networks with incremental decode-and-forward (IDF) relaying over N-Nakagami fading channels are derived in this paper. The average BEP performance under different conditions is evaluated numerically to confirm the accuracy of the analysis. Results are presented which show that the fading coefficient, the number of cascaded components, the relative geometrical gain, and the power allocation parameter have a significant influence on the average BEP performance.

In this paper, we represent Nakagami-m fading channel as finite-State Markov Channel (FSMC) and analyze the performance of wireless communication system with varying the fading channel condition. In FSMC model, the received signal's SNR is divided into finite intervals and these intervals are formed into Markov chain states. Each state is modeled by a BSC and the transition probability is dependent upon the physical characterization of the channel. The steady state probability and average symbol error rate of each state and transition probability are derived by numerical analysis and FSMC model is formed with these values. We found that various fading channels can be represented with FSMC by changing state transition index. In fast fading environment in which state transition index is large, the channel can be viewed as i.i.d. channel and on the contrary, in slow fading channel where state transition index is small, the channel can be represented by simple FSMC model in which transitions occur between just adjacent states. And we applied the proposed FSMC model to analyze the coding gain of random error correcting code on various fading channels via computer simulation.
