Abstract

In this correspondence, we consider the random coding error exponent for nondispersive two-dimensional (2-D) (quadrature) fading channels for which the channel state information (CSI) is perfectly known at the receiver and the input to the transmitter is constrained in its average power. Also, the effect of space diversity on improving the performance is demonstrated. The results obtained in this correspondence shed light on the effect of fading on communications reliability as well as the amount of coding complexity required to achieve a certain decoding error rate. A treatment for the random coding error exponent for time-correlated flat fading channels with Rayleigh fading and Bessel function correlation (the Jake's model) is also provided
