Abstract
In this paper, we derive the average bit error probability (BEP) for common digital modulation schemes and the outage probability of double Nakagami-m channels with MRC diversity. First, the probability density function (PDF) and moment generating function (MGF) of received signal with maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver diversity are computed. The derived MGF results are simplified in terms of a generalized hypergeometric function2F0. The derived BEP expressions find applications in existing wireless systems such as satellite mobile communication system, mobile-to-mobile communication system and multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. In addition, the obtained general MGF expression considers combined Rayleigh × Nakagami-m, double Rayleigh, single Rayleigh, single Nakagami-m, and non-fading or additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels as special cases. The simulation results agree well with the theoretical results. Copyright © 2009 The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.
