Abstract

This paper presents exact expressions for the average error performance of various M-ary modulation schemes over Rician---Nakagami fading channels. The expressions for average symbol error probability (SEP) are given in terms of Lauricella's multivariate hypergeometric function, which can be evaluated numerically using its integral or converging series representation. Furthermore, we show that the derived expressions include some previously published results for Rayleigh fading as special cases.
