Error analysis of SISO and dual-branch communications with generalized Gaussian noise over FTR fading channels

In this paper, we present error probability analysis for single-input single-output (SISO) and asymmetric dual-branch networks with additive white generalized Gaussian noise (AWGGN) over millimeter-wave (mmW) fluctuating two-ray (FTR) fading channels. Then, we examine the error probability evaluation of a SISO system with imperfect phase errors over mmW FTR fading channels. The probability density function (PDF) approach is employed for the error probability performance evaluation and the novel PDF of the asymmetric dual-branch system over Nakagami-m/mmW FTR fading channels is obtained. Specifically, closed-form expressions are derived for the error probability of the SISO and asymmetric dual-branch networks. The derived error expressions facilitate in effectively evaluating the performance of considered networks in the presence of AWGGN and imperfect phase noise with optimal fading parameters and modulation type. The theoretical derivations are extensively confirmed through exact simulations.
