Abstract

Presents the bit error probability of 16-QPOM schemes over mobile satellite shadowed Rician fading channels. An upper bound on the pairwise error probability is derived, and then combined with the transfer function bounding technique. The derived upper bound is given in a closed form without the need of any numerical integration. This upper bound is then used to evaluate the performance of both linear and hard-limited 16-QPOM signals. Simulation results are also performed to verify the analytical results
