学术报告：Developing New Asymptotic Techniques for Correlated Fading Channels

报告摘要：

Asymptotic analysis is widely used to analyze the performance of wireless digital communication systems in large signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, especially when the system model is too complex and is analytically intractable. This talk will first provide a tutorial review of the classical asymptotic technique. Then we will introduce two recently developed new asymptotic techniques.

The first technique can be used to obtain asymptotically tight upper and lower bounds for the outage and error rate performance of digital communication systems for a large class of arbitrarily correlated fading channels. We will show that these upper and lower bounds will asymptotically converge to the classical asymptotic performance at high SNR. However, the aforementioned asymptotic techniques all fail to work with the lognormal fading channels, which find important applications in both radio frequency and optical wireless communications.

Therefore, we develop a second asymptotic technique to analyze the outage and error rate performance of multi-channel lognormal fading and obtain simple, highly accurate closed-form approximate outage and error rate expressions for both independent and correlated lognormal fading channels. These analytical expressions can be used to reveal insights into this challenging fading channel model.
