Abstract
In this paper, performance metric of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is analyzed over a composite fading channel, i.e., generalized K-fading channel. Here, OFDM system is considered which includes repetition code to enhance the wireless link performance with simplicity. Symbol error rate (SER) performance is evaluated using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) over generalized K-fading channel. This channel model considers Nakagami-m distribution to define multipath and gamma distribution to represent shadowing effects. Simulation results demonstrate that improved system performance can be achieved by using repetition code in severely faded environment. A comparative study of coded and uncoded system is also given in this paper. Consequently, SER performance is improved with the increase of shape parameters.
