Abstract
In this paper, the analytical and simulation results of the bit error rate (BER) performance for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with an arbitrary number of transmit and receive antennas are developed for the uplink transmission. The fading channel is assumed to follow Nakagami-m distribution with correlation among branches. The BER is expressed in terms of Lauricella’s multivariate hypergeometric function for both independent and correlated antenna branches for BPSK system.
