Abstract:
1. An evaluation method for providing a transceiver system with performance information thereof, the transceiver system including a transmitter and a receiver, and modeling a channel between the transmitter and the receiver using Nakagami distribution with a fading parameter, and being configured to perform signal modulation using M-ary phase-shift keying, the transmitter having a plurality of transmit antennas, the receiver having a plurality of receive antennas, said evaluation method to be implemented using an evaluation device and comprising the steps of: a) configuring the evaluation device to set an average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the channel between the transmitter and the receiver of the transceiver system; b) configuring the evaluation device to estimate a symbol error rate related to the signal received by the receiver of the transceiver system based upon the fading parameter, the average SNR, a number of the transmit antennas, and a number of the receive antennas; and c) configuring the evaluation device to provide the transceiver system with the average SNR and the symbol error rate as the performance information of the transceiver system; wherein in step b), when the fading parameter is greater than or equal to ½, the evaluation device is configured to estimate the symbol error rate PSER based upon where m is the fading parameter, L for an arbitrary positive number z, for a positive integer n.
