| Summary: | <p/> <p>We analyze the exact average symbol error probability (SEP) of binary and <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1499-2007-053742-i3.gif"/></inline-formula>-ary signals with spatial diversity in Nakagami- <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1499-2007-053742-i4.gif"/></inline-formula> (Hoyt) fading channels. The maximal-ratio combining and orthogonal space-time block coding are considered as diversity techniques for single-input multiple-output and multiple-input multiple-output systems, respectively. We obtain the average SEP in terms of the Lauricella multivariate hypergeometric function <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1499-2007-053742-i5.gif"/></inline-formula>. The analysis is verified by comparing with Monte Carlo simulations and we further show that our general SEP expressions particularize to the previously known results for Rayleigh ( <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1499-2007-053742-i6.gif"/></inline-formula> = 1) and single-input single-output (SISO) Nakagami- <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1499-2007-053742-i7.gif"/></inline-formula> cases.</p> |
