Abstract
New exact expressions involving hypergeometric functions are derived f or the symbol-error rate (SER) of M-ary quadrature amplitude modulatio n (MQAM) for L branch diversity reception in Rayleigh fading and addit ive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), The diversity combining techniques co nsidered are maximum ratio combining (MRC) and selection combining (SC ), MRC with identical channels and dissimilar channels are analyzed.
