Abstract

Space-time block codes are known to be a powerful tool to achieve full spatial diversity gain while maintaining a very simple receiver structure. In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic error performance of orthogonal space-time block codes over flat Nakagami-m fading channels. Both identical and non-identical m-distributions are considered. Based on the moment generation function (MGF) approach, the closed-form asymptotic symbol error probabilities over Nakagami-m fading channels are derived. Compared to the previous works in literature, our results are more accurate and more general. Simulation results are provided to verify our analytical results.
