Performance Analysis Over Fading Channels Rafael C Lavrado
Agenda • Fading Channels • Alternative Representation • PAM Analysis • QAM Analysis • Conclusion
AWGN Channels h(t) x(t) y(t) n(t) y(t)= x(t) + n(t)
Fading Channels h(t) x(t) y(t) n(t) y(t)= αx(t) + n(t)
Fading Amplitude α • Is a Random Variable • Mean Square Value Ω = • PDF dependent on the nature of the radio propagation environment
Fading Channels- Probability of Error • As the carrier is attenuated by α, the signal power is attenuated by • And then we will define the instantaneous SNR per bit by • And the average SNR by
Fading Channels- Probability of Error • Expected value of the probability of error taken over the RV α
Fading channel models • Rayleigh • Mobile Systems with no LOS path between the transmitter and receiver • Nakagami-m(Rice) • Propagation path consist of one strong direct LOS • Nakagami-q(Hoyt) • Satellite Link subject to strong ionospheric scintillation
Fading channel models • Log Normal • Caused by trees, buildings- Urban • Nakagami-m • Best fit to indoor mobile
Rayleigh Fading • PDF • In terms of SNR • MGF
PAM Modulation • General Expression • For M=2
PAM on a Fading Channel • Substituting for • If we use the classical representation of the Q function we going to face some difficulties.
Gaussian-Q Function • Classical representation • Alternative Representation Infinite Limit Variable in the Limit
: For the Rayleigh Fading channel
QAM Modulatiom • General Expression • For 4-QAM
QAM on a Fading Channel • Substituting for • So now, we need to calculate the integral for Q square
So, = And, = Thus for
Conclusion • The alternative form of Q-Function can help evaluate the error probability in Fading channels.
