In this method the Rayleigh fading channel is seen as an additive noise channel whose noise is modeled as the ratio between a Gaussian random variable (r.v.) and a Rayleigh r.v. The method is based on the use of the cumulative density function of that additive noise to obtain closed-form expressions for the BEP of QAM (</span><em>quadrature amplitude modulation</em><span>) schemes, subject to fading. In particular, the proposed method is used to obtain new, exact and closed-form expressions for the BEP of 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM. These expressions are shown to be in agreement with simulation results.</span>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Communication and Information Systems}, author={Terllizzie A.
