Abstract

In this paper, we present high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) approximate closed-form formulas for the average error probabilities of several M-ary signals, particularly in Nakagami-q (i.e., Hoyt) fading channels. The derived formulas are much more concise than the existing exact closed-form expressions, however, showing the very tightness to error performance obtained from the exact formulas in the high SNR regime. The validity of our derivations and analyses is verified though the rigorous numerical results.
