Performance bounds of rate-1/2 convolutional codes with QPSK on Rayleigh fading channel
Abstract
An analytic expression for the bit-error-probability upper bounds of rate-1/2 convolutional codes in conjunction with QPSK modulation and maximum-likelihood Viterbi decoding on a fully interleaved Rayleigh fading channel is presented. The given expression is evaluated numerically for selected rate-1/2 optimum convolutional codes with QPSK.
