Performance of QAM Signaling over TWDP Fading Channels

Performance of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) scheme in two-wave with diffuse power (TWDP) fading environment is analyzed. Closed-form expressions for the exact average symbol error rate (ASER) of general order rectangular QAM (RQAM) and cross QAM (XQAM) schemes are presented using moment generating function of TWDP fading distribution. Obtained ASER expressions are in the form of Appell's (Φ_1(·)) and Lauricella's (Φ_1^{(3)}(·)) hypergeometric functions which can be numerically evaluated using either integral or series representation . Further, closed-form expression for the nth order moment of the received signal-to-noise ratio is derived. Numerical results show excellent agreement with simulation results.
