Introduction
Our present work
• Derivation of analytical expressions for Symbol-Error-Rate for M-ary dual
Star QAM in channels corrupted by AWG noise with Rayleigh, Rician and
Nakagami-m fading.
• The expressions are computationally inexpensive.
• Monte Carlo simulations were performed to verify the expressions.
• The results eradicate the flaw in the paper by Barbounakis and Papadakis .

M-ary Star QAM Modulation
• It is a simple extension of phase modulation to a multi-amplitude phase modulation.
• It was first proposed by Cahn (1960).

Motivation
The Star QAM modulation scheme is of interest as :
1. It has better error performance for wireless fading channels.
2. Better suited for adaptive modulation.
3. Square and rectangular QAMs have high Peak to Average power ratio which is not so for star QAM
4. Simpler Encoder-Decoder structures.

System Model
• Modulator: {bk} →Input bit stream to the modulator.
ṡ(t) → Wave modulated using Star QAM Modulation.• Channel Description: n(t) →Gaussian Noise. α(t) → Amplitude variation due to fading. ṙ(t) = ṡ(t) α(t) + n(t)• Demodulator: ṙ(t) → received signal {ḃk} → Demodulated bit stream.

SER Calculation
Following Craig’s Method we have derived the SER in AWGN channel for dual ring star QAM modulation as :
ɣ = Signal to Noise ratio;L = Ro/ RI
αk= rk/ RI and is called the scaling parameter
The SER in fading channel can be given as :
o
efadinge dPfP )()(
Where f(ɣ) is the fading distribution as a function of ɣ.

Results (contd…)
Gray’s approximation which gives the Bit Error Rate as,
Pe,b= Pe/log2(M),
is not a satisfactory approximation for Star QAM Modulation.
The above estimation is somewhat practical for the SNR range 9dB to 14dB.
The formula gives errors above 30% for lower and higher SNR values.
For critical fading conditions the error shoots above 100%.
