The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In conventional communication systems, the noise at the receiver is usually assumed to be Gaussian. However, this assumption is not always valid if the signal is affected by impulsive noise. This paper analyzes the theoretical bit error probability (BEP) of M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) (M >= 4) on Rayleigh fading channels with impulsive noise that has an alpha stable distribution. The derived theoretical BEP can be used to evaluate the performance of wireless communication system with impulsive noise and also provides a benchmark for determining coding gains. Furthermore, two closed-form approximations of the theoretical BEP are derived that provide good approximations of the actual BEP.
