New tight bounds on the pairwise error probability for unitary space-time modulations

摘要

We present two upper bounds and one lower bound on the pairwise error probability (PEP) of unitary space-time modulation (USTM) over the Rayleigh fading channel. The two new upper bounds are the tightest so far, and the new lower bound is the tightest at low signal-to-noise ratio. Some implications for USTM constellation design are also pointed out.
