Summary :

When M-ary QAM (MQAM) signals experience the Rician fading channels, diversity schemes can minimize the effects of these fadings since deep fades seldom occur simultaneously during the same time intervals on two or more paths. The symbol error probability of MQAM systems using L-branch maximum ratio combining (MRC) diversity reception is derived theoretically over frequency-nonselective slow Rician fading channels with an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). This derived evaluation is expressed as the infinite series composed of hypergeometric and gamma functions. These performance evaluations allow designers to determine M-ary modulation methods for Rician fading environments.
