Abstract

In this letter, we investigate the shadowing effect on the performance of space-time codes, using the Rician-Nakagami channel model which has been recently introduced. Specifically, we derive an exact expression for the pairwise error probability (PEP) of space-time trellis codes over the Rician-Nakagami channel, which is in the form of a simple single finite-range integral. We also present numerical results how the PEP expressions for the Rician-Nakagami channel can be related to those for the classical Rician-lognormal channel based on the parameter transformation between these two models.
