Summary :

In this paper, a new and an accurate symbol error probability's analytical model of Rectangular Quadrature Amplitude Modulation in α-µ fading channel is presented for single-user single-input multi-output environment, which can be easily extended to generalized fading channels. The maximal-ratio combining technique is utilized at the receiving end and unified moment generating functions are used to derivate the results. The fading mediums considered are independent and non-identical. The mathematical model presented is applicable for slow and frequency non-selective fading channels only. The final expression is presented in terms of Meijer G-function; it contains single integrals with finite limits to evaluate the mathematical expressions with numerical techniques. The beauty of the model will help evaluate symbol error probability of rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation with spatial diversity over various fading mediums not addressed in this article. To check for the validity of derived analytical expressions, comparison is made between theoretical and simulation results at the end.
