Abstract

The probability of error for orthogonal space-time block codes (STBC) is considered for PAM/PSK/QAM modulation in correlated Nakagami-m fading channels. The approach is based on the characteristic function of the instantaneous signal to noise ratio (SNR). Closed form error probability expressions are derived for correlated Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading channels.
