Abstract
We present new exponential bounds for the Gaussian Q function (one- and two-dimensional) and its inverse, and for M-ary phase-shift-keying (MPSK), M-ary differential phase-shift-keying (MDPSK) error probabilities over additive white Gaussian noise channels. More precisely, the new bounds are in the form of the sum of exponential functions that, in the limit, approach the exact value. Then, a quite accurate and simple approximate expression given by the sum of two exponential functions is reported. The results are applied to the general problem of evaluating the average error probability in fading channels. Some examples of applications are also presented for the computation of the pairwise error probability of space-time codes and the average error probability of MPSK and MDPSK in fading channels.

Performance Analysis of $n$ -Channel Symmetric FEC-Based Multiple Description Coding for OFDM Networks

TL;DR: The results show that at high SNR, the multiple description encoder does not need to fine-tune the optimization parameters of the system due to the correlated nature of the subcarriers, and FEC-based multiple description coding without temporal coding provides a greater advantage for smaller description sizes.

Digital Communication over Fading Channels: A Unified Approach to Performance Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a diversity technique for communication over fading channels in the presence of interference is proposed. But the technique is not suitable for all channels and it is not applicable to all channels.
