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.
