| Abstract | Nakagami’s m distribution is a versatile statistical model to characterize small-scale multipath fading in wireless channels. On the other hand, selection combining (SC) is a widely practiced diversity technique to mitigate the detrimental effects of multipath fading. Thus, when SC is applied over Nakagami fading channel, the error performance improvement for any given modulation format is of considerable interest. Since the last decade, π/4-shifted differential quadrature phase shift keying (π/4-DQPSK) modulation has attracted much attention as it is used for high-capacity code division multiple access (CDMA) based digital cellular systems. One of the major reasons behind this is the provision for differential detection which allows production of low complexity mobile units. In this paper, we present analytical expressions for bit error rate (BER) of π/4-DQPSK modulation with L-branch SC diversity in Nakagami-m fading channels perturbed by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The derived end expressions are in closed form and contain finite series of Gaussian hypergeometric function. This makes evaluation of error rates much more straightforward compared to earlier approaches that required single or even double numerical integration. Some special instances such as the nondiversity case and Rayleigh fading case are also investigated and plotted along with the main findings. For different fading parameter (m) values and for different diversity orders (L), simulated results are shown to be in excellent agreement with the derived analytical results. All the results are, however, limited to integer values of fading severity parameter m. |

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.
