Abstract :
A method for computing the probability of error for multilevel pulse-amplitude modulation data transmission systems is presented. It is based on the use of standard quadrature rules, and allows one to obtain very accurate results in a short computer time. Results and comparisons with previously known methods show the satisfactory performance of the proposed approach, even in critical situations.
