Abstract

The bit-error rate and channel capacity have been regarded as fundamental information theoretic performance measure to predict the maximum information rate of a communication system. In contrast, with the analysis of other important performance measures of the wireless communication systems, a novel and unified general approach for computing the bit-error-rate and channel capacity over the correlated Nakagam-m fading channels have been proposed. In this paper, we have analyzed and numerically simulated the bit-error-rate and channel capacity of the correlated Nakagami-m fading channel by using the moment generating function (MGF) based approach. The derived mathematical expression for the channel capacity is in terms of the Meijer G function which is valid for both integer and non-integer values of the fading parameters.
