HQAM Analysis of MRC Diversity Systems over Fisher-Snedecor F Channels

With the acceleration of 5G and beyond studies and increasing research in this field, various modulation schemes, channel models, and diversity methods are being studied on factors such as power, bandwidth and efficiency. In recent years, it is seen that different mathematical derivations have been made for channel models and that models have been created that reveal wireless channel environments more successfully. In this paper, the maximal ratio combining technique with hexagonal quatrature amplitude modulation over the Fisher-Snedecor F channels is analyzed. As a result of the analysis, error expressions were derived and the accuracy of these expressions was shown with numerical results.
