Probability of error on radio links with fixed terminals in mu cellular land mobile and indoor environments

This paper reports work in which a method for error performance predictions on flat fading, statistically non-stationary radio channels is proposed and evaluated. The method involves consideration of three types of channel behaviour (quiescent, fading, and faded) and the use of statistics characterizing each in a three-term probability of error equation. Results give error probabilities that would not be exceeded for "x" percent of the time on indoor and mu cellular land mobile links having signal-to-noise ratios computed using routine link budget calculations, without fade margins. >
