Abstract

Discriminator detection of Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) in a cellular mobile-communication channel is analyzed. The channel is modeled as a frequency-selective fast Rayleigh fading channel corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and co-channel interference (CCI). A closed-form expression for the probability of error is derived. Numerical computation is used to obtain the GMSK bit error rate (BER) performance for various combinations of channel parameters. These results show that GMSK gives slightly better performance compared to that for π/4-quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) previously reported in the literature
