Abstract:

In α-μ fading environment utilizing Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) schemes, the Average Symbol Error Rate (ASER) is analyzed for a Single Input And Single Output (SISO) communication system. QAM schemes enhance bandwidth efficiency for 5G and beyond wireless transmission systems. The closed-form expressions for the ASER of Hexagonal QAM (HQAM), Cross QAM (XQAM), Square QAM (SQAM), as well as Rectangular QAM (RQAM) schemes are presented using Fox H-function, which is the most general function and Prony approximation for Gaussian Q-function is utilized. The α-μ distribution considers the nonlinearity of the propagation medium and the nonhomogeneous medium. Analytical results show tight agreement with simulation data.

Keywords:

α-μ fading, ASER, Fox H-function, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, Prony approximation.
