Abstract

The paper presents a new upper bound on the pairwise error probability (PEP) of trellis-coded modulation (TCM) schemes over nonindependent Rician fading channels. The bound is quite general, e.g., applicable to ideal coherent and pilot-tone aided detection, and differential detection, etc. Being quite accurate, the bound can be used in conjunction with a truncated union bound to estimate the bit error probability when ideal interleaving is not possible
