This book focuses on performance evaluation techniques for wireless systems in fading. It
consists of five parts. The first part introduces system performance measures, types of fading …

Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is an attractive technique to achieve high rate
transmission without increasing the bandwidth. A great deal of attention has been devoted to …

The use of multiple antennas at base stations is a key component in the design of cellular
communication systems that can meet high-capacity demands in the downlink. Under ideal …

Hierarchical constellations offer a different degree of protection to the transmitted messages
according to their relative importance. As such, they find interesting application in digital …

The channel capacity of a nonlinear, dispersive fiber-optic link is revisited. To this end, the
popular Gaussian noise (GN) model is extended with a parameter to account for the finite …

Hierarchical constellations offer a different degree of protection to the transmitted messages
according to their relative importance. As such they found interesting application in digital …

So far the general expression of bit error rate (BER) has not been derived for M-ary square
quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). In this paper, a generalized closed-form BER …

Automatic modulation categorization (AMC) is used in many applications such as cognitive
radio, adaptive communication, electronic reconnaissance, and non-cooperative …

A novel and unified framework is presented to evaluate the exact bit error probability (BEP)
of M-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) …

In this paper, we study the optimality of bit detection for coherent M-ary phase-shift keying
(PSK) and M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and noncoherent M-ary …
