Title: Novel Generic Formulas and Relations for the Ergodic Capacity and
Average Bit Error Rate over Generalized Fading Channels

Speaker: Prof. Mohamed-Slim Alouini

Date: Friday, Sept. 9, 2011

Time: 11 a.m.

Location: Bren Hall (DBH), Room 3011

ABSTRACT

Analysis of the average binary error probabilities (ABEP) and ergodic
capacity (EC) of wireless communications systems over generalized fading
channels have been considered separately in the past. This talk
introduces a novel moment generating function (MGF)-based unified
approach for the exact computation of the ABEP and EC of single and
multiple link communication with maximal ratio combining. This approach
leads to a generic unified performance expression that can be easily
calculated and that is applicable to a wide variety of fading scenarios.
The talk introduces also a new analytical connection between the EC and
the ABEP of binary modulation schemes. In particular formulas to obtain
the EC from the ABEP and vice versa are proposed. Analytical and
numerical examples are provided to illustrate the mathematical formalism
for a variety of fading conditions.

SPEAKER'S BIOGRAPHY

Mohamed-Slim Alouini was born in Tunis, Tunisia. He received the Ph.D.
degree in electrical engineering from the California Institute of
Technology (Caltech) in 1998. He was with the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, then with the
Electrical and Computer Engineering Program at Texas A&M University at
Qatar, Education City, Doha, Qatar.

Since June 2009, he has been a professor of electrical engineering in
the Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering at KAUST, Saudi
Arabia, where his current research interests include the design and
performance analysis of wireless communication systems.
