| Abstract | In this contribution, we investigate the effect of imperfect channel estimation on the bit error rate (BER) performance of uncoded quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) with maximal-ratio combining (MRC) multichannel reception. The propagation channels from the transmitter to each of the Nr receive antennas are assumed to be affected by (possibly correlated) flat block fading with an arbitrary fading distribution. The MRC receiver makes use of estimated channel coefficients, obtained from known pilot symbols sent among the data. The resulting average BER for QAM can easily be written as an expectation over 4Nr random variables, but the computing time needed for its numerical evaluation increases exponentially with Nr. We point out that the BER can be expressed in terms of the distribution of the norm of the channel vector, rather than the joint distribution of all channel coefficients. This allows to reduce the BER expression to an expectation over only 4 random variables, irrespective of the number of receive antennas. Moreover, we show that for real-valued constellations and/or real-valued channels, the BER expression reduces to an expectation over less than 4 variables. For practical BER levels, the numerical evaluation of the BER is much less time-consuming than a straightforward computer simulation. The presented BER expression is useful not only when the fading distribution is given in closed form, but also when only experimental data (e.g. a histogram) on the fading are available. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
