Abstract

Bit error rate (BER) prediction over channel realisations has emerged as an active research area. In this paper, we give analytical signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) evaluation of MIMO-OFDM systems using an iterative receiver. Using this analytical SINR expression, we propose an accurate BER prediction method based on effective exponential SINR mapping (EESM) method. We show by simulations that our method is independent of the channel realisation and of the MIMO scheme. It is only dependent on the modulation and coding scheme.
