Abstract :
The recent paper by Aalo et al., (2005), derived closed-form expressions for the bit-error rate (BER) of binary digital modulation schemes. The given expressions involve the Fox´s H and Meijer´s G functions and so their applicability is limited (e.g. we are not aware of any computer program for evaluating the Fox´s H function). In this paper, we derive simpler expressions for the BER in terms of well known hypergeometric functions
