Abstract :
Expressions for probability of block error, 
, the probability of more than 
errors in a block of 
digits, are derived for binary signaling over a channel with very slow nonselective Reyleigh fading and additive Gaussian noise. The analysis is applicable to noncoherent FSK, coherent FSK, and coherent PSK signaling. An asymptotic expression for the block error probability, suitable for high signal-to-noise ratio, is also derived. Computations of 
are presented for a broad range of error probabilities and block sizes, and the characteristics of block error probabilities for the fading and nonfading cases are compared.
