Abstract :
The major contribution of this paper is the computation of an accurate approximation of the symbol error probability of multidimensional signal constellations used for transmission over independent Rayleigh fading channels. Here we attempt to compute the exact error probability and show how some apparently rather gross approximations still lead to an accurate result
