Abstract:
In this letter, we investigate the performance of
space-time codes in frequency selective correlated Rician channels.
An exact expression has been derived for the pairwise
error probability (PEP) of space-time trellis codes over frequency
selective Rician fading channel, which is in the form of a single
finite range integral. We also obtain a closed form expression for
the PEP when the signal matrices are drawn from some special
design and the performance upper bound.
