BPSK bit error outage over Nakagami-m fading channels in lognormal shadowing environments

Abstract

In this letter, we address the problem of finding a tractable expression for the bit-error outage (BEO) defined as the probability to observe a given average bit error rate (BER) over a fading channel in a shadowing environment. Our contribution is two-fold: (1) a simple yet tight approximation of the bit error probability (BEP) for binary phase shift keying (BPSK) over a frequency-flat Nakagami-m fading channel is derived, which (2) facilitates the derivation of a tight lower bound of the BEO in presence of lognormal shadowing in closed form. Theoretical results are corroborated by means of simulation results, confirming the tightness of the bounds.
