Extended Transfer Bound Error Analysis for Parametric Channel withContinuous Valued Correlated Random Nuisance Parameter

Abstract

In this paper, we address the extended use of transfer boundanalysis of bit error rate (BER) properties. In conjunction with properparameter modeling, we offer a method to resolve the problem oftransfer bound applicability on a system with random and possiblycorrelated continuous value nuisance parameters. We introduce a newadditional parameter space into the original error space and join themin a product matrix for an extended transfer function evaluation.Example applications with simple trellis code for Rayleigh fadingchannel and phase synchronization error are investigated to demonstratethe functionality of the proved principle. Computer simulation resultsare presented for two different codes and various fading scenarios, andcomparisons are made among analytical and measured system errorperformances
