Capacity and cutoff rate of noncoherent FSK with nonselective Rician fading
Abstract
The capacity and cutoff rate of frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation and noncoherent reception when the signal is subject to Rician fading are calculated. Both hard and soft decisions with maximum likelihood combining are considered, as well as soft decisions with square-law combining. Optimal code rates are found that minimize the required signal-to-noise ratio for reliable communications.
