Abstract

This letter considers the average symbol error rate (SER) of $M$ -ary phase shift keying ( $M$ -PSK) over the $\alpha{-}\eta{-} \mu$ fading channels subject to additive Laplacian noise. Specifically, novel unified closed-form expressions for the average SER are derived and evaluated. The derived expressions include other well-known general fading channels such as $\eta{-}\mu, \alpha{-} \mu$ , and their inclusive ones as special cases. Numerical results are presented to study the influence of the fading parameters on the average SER. In addition, simulation results are provided to prove the correctness of the analytical results.
