SYMBOL ERROR RATE ANALYSIS FOR MPSK UNDER RICIAN FADING CHANNELS WITHFADING COMPENSATION BASED ON TIME-CORRELATION

In order to combat the effects of channel fading, a pilot symbol-aided modulation based on fading time correlation has been proposed, In thi s paper we present results of analytical studies on this technique whi ch were not included in previous works, We derive a new formula to det ermine the symbol error rate of MPSK scheme under Rician fading channe ls, The results are compared with a perfect carrier-referenced system. Computer simulations are also carried out to verify the analytical re sults.
