Abstract
A general recursive algorithm for the efficient and accurate computation of the bit error rate (BER) of square-shaped M-QAM constellations over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels is derived. We take advantage of the relationship amongst different square-shaped M-QAM constellations using Gray coded bit mapping.
