This book offers a unified presentation, broad coverage, and single-volume convenience. This time-saving reference provides a unified approach to the performance analysis of digital communication systems over generalized fading channels. Employing alternative forms of such classical mathematical functions as the Gaussian Q-function, the Marcum Q-function, and the incomplete Gamma function, the book expresses communication system error probability performance in terms of the moment generation function (MGF) of the fading process. This MGF-based approach provides the unifying backbone of the book. "Digital Communication over Fading Channels" discusses in detail coherent, differentially coherent, and noncoherent communication systems as well as a large variety of fading channel models typical of communication links found in the real world. The coverage also includes single- and multichannel reception and, in the case of the latter, a large variety of diversity types. For each combination of communication type, channel fading model, and diversity type, the average bit error rate and/or symbol error rate is expressed in an easy-to-evaluate form.
Special features include: important results previously scattered over many publications - now in a single volume; simplified results heretofore available only in complex forms; extremely broad coverage of topics; explores practical applications, including the problem of optimum combining in the presence of co-channel interference.
