UER of various modulation schemes over SC diversity with GGD noise for EMNC

Abstract

ABSTRACT Electromagnetic nano communication (EMNC) is an evolving field of modern communication technology. Terahertz imaging, sensing, food safety and security, quality control and simultaneous localisation and mapping, which all together make it a suitable use case for 6 G, are the most lively applications of EMNC. This manuscript proposes unified expressions of error rate under different modulation schemes for EMNC. For this, mixture gamma (MG) fading distribution, including almost all the fading channels, under dual selection combining (SC) diversity is developed and employed. Also, generalised Gaussian distribution (GGD), which is appropriate for the EMNC system under an aqueous medium, is employed in the analysis. Specifically, analytical expressions for BER of BPSK, M-PAM and M-QAM schemes over MG fading under dual SC diversity are derived in the presence of GGD noise. Proposed analytical expressions are numerically compared with those available in the literature without SC diversity. Comparison shows that irrespective of the value of fading severity ‘’ and/or noise shaping parameter ‘’, dual SC offers a significant improvement in BER. It is most important to mention that proposed expressions are unified in nature because a variety of results can be reproduced for different values of ‘’ and ‘’.
