Abstract

The recent paper by Beaulieu [A useful integral for wireless communication theory and its application to rectangular signaling constellation error rates, IEEE Trans. Comm. 54 (May 2006) 802-805] derived a closed form expression for an integral that represents the average over Rayleigh fading of the product of two Gaussian Q functions. In this note, a simpler derivation of the result of Beaulieu [A useful integral for wireless communication theory and its application to rectangular signaling constellation error rates, IEEE Trans. Comm. 54 (May 2006) 802-805] is provided.
