On the error rate of coherent binary modulation techniques in mobile communication systems over generalized fading channels impaired by generalized Gaussian noise

In the this paper, the performance of coherent binary digital modulation techniques is investigated. Specifically, we derive exact closed-form expressions for the average bit error rate (BER) of coherent binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and frequency shift keying (BFSK) in the α-μ fading channels impaired by generalized Gaussian noise. The derived expressions take into account the mobility of the wireless receiver. In this paper, we employ the random waypoint (RWP) model to study the effect of mobility on the system performance. Some representative analytical results are presented to investigate the effects of the fading parameters, noise shaping parameter, and network topology on the system performance. In addition, Monte-Carlo simulations are provided to validate the accuracy of the analytical results.
