TY - JOUR T1 - An Approximate Error Expression for RQAM Scheme under α-η-µ Fading Conditions AU - Kapucu, Nuri PY - 2019 DA - April DO - 10.17694/bajece.465158 JF - Balkan Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering PB - MUSA YILMAZ WT - DergiPark SN - 2147-284X SP - 208 EP - 212 VL - 7 IS - 2 LA - en AB - In this paper, average symbol error rate(ASER) performance of rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation (RQAM) schemeis analyzed over α-η-µ fading channels. First, an ASER expression is derivedbased on Chernoff approximation of Gaussian Q-function.Then, an asymptotic ASER formula is obtained for analyzing system behavior athigh signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. The ASER performance is presented fordifferent modulation levels and fading parameter values. In addition, relativetruncation error (RTE) is illustrated in order to determine how many terms areneeded for the computation of proposed expression. It is shown that analyticalresults are in close agreement with exact results. KW - Error analysis KW - α-η-µ distribution KW - RQAM CR - [1] D. Dixit, , P.R.
