Abstract

The symmetric cut-off rate is derived for quadrature-amplitude-modulated (QAM) block-coded data-transmissions over noisy links impaired by time-correlated multipath-phenomena which give rise to Rayleigh-distributed randomly time-variant intersymbol Interference (ISI) effects. The presented formulas for the cut-off rate are new; they are derived from a random coding bound developed “ad hoc” for bounding the ensemble-averaged block-error probability of a maximum likelihood (ML) decoder supported by perfect channel-state-information (CSI). The assumption of time-correlated ISI phenomena introduces memory in the link and makes the underlying ISI-channel a continuous-state channel with memory
