M-QAM BER Analysis of ZF MIMO Transmissions with Stochastic Interference Model for LTE

Albert Mráz, László Pap
Abstract—This work provides an exact analytical method for the calculation of the bit error rate for MIMO-ZF transmission, assuming arbitrary M level quadrature amplitude modulation, to substitute the existing approximating solutions in the literature in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise. The authors have extended the calculations with a 3GPP LTE specified spatial correlation model in order to get realistic performance results and a usable tool in a realistic standardized mobile system. In addition, the bit error rate calculation method has been completed by a stochastic interference model, which influences the received interference energy by several different parameters, which will be assumed as random variables in this work. The interference model can be considered flexible in the sense that different random distributions can be defined for the implied parameters. In this work, the authors provide analytic bit error rate calculation results applying the mentioned stochastic interference model according to a frequency hopping scenario.
