Abstract :
In this paper, we analyze the performance of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) in a Weibull fading channel in presence of cochannel interference (CCI). The performance is quantified in terms of the bit error rate (BER). Two expressions are derived for the BER in this case, the first is an exact expression based on a characteristic function (CF) approach, while the second is an approximate expression based on the use of the central limit theorem (CLT). The exact expression reduces to well-known previously obtained expressions for the special case of Rayleigh fading. The validity of the exact expression is further confirmed by comparing its results to those obtained via Monte Carlo simulations. We investigate the effect of such factors as the number of interferers and the fading severity of both the desired as well as the interfering signals on performance.
