Abstract

Bit Error Rate (BER) is a key parameter used to evaluate the performance of radio communication systems. In this paper, a realistic BER of radio MRC diversity systems is predicted based on the Multi-Resolution Frequency Domain ParFlow (MRFDPF) model. The prediction takes into account the correlations among diversity branches and makes no assumptions of the correlation model. The predicted realistic BER for MRC diversity systems can be very useful to many wireless applications, such as, adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme, or optimal power allocation.
