A Recursive Algorithm for the Error Probability Evaluation of $M$-QAM
A Recursive Algorithm for the Error Probability Evaluation of $M$-QAM
A general recursive algorithm for the efficient and accurate computation of the bit error rate (BER) of square-shaped $M$-QAM constellations over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels is derived. We take advantage of the relationship amongst different square-shaped $M$-QAM constellations using Gray coded bit mapping. Index Terms—AWGN, BER computation, $M$-QAM, square constellation.

Abstract

A general recursive algorithm for the efficient and accurate computation of the bit error rate (BER) of square-shaped $M$-QAM constellations over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels is derived. We take advantage of the relationship amongst different square-shaped $M$-QAM constellations using Gray coded bit mapping. Index Terms—AWGN, BER computation, $M$-QAM, square constellation.
