Hello,

In case of 

r(t) = s(t) + i(t) + n(t)

where r(t) - received signal
      s(t) - desired signal
      i(t) - interference signal
      n(t) - additive Gaussian noise

then does the BER depend on Signal-to-{Interference + Noise} Ratio
(SINR) directly

For e.g. if s(t) is Binary PSK, can I use the Q-function directly by
replacing the SNR by SINR to estimate the BER.

Cheers,
Vimal

I think (but I am just a beginner) the following:

if i(t) is gaussian white noise and uncorrelated with n(t), you can use the
SINR directly

Hint: Consider different types of interference.

If the interference, is lets say binary antipodal +/- 1 ... then can we use SINR...

If the interference is another BPSK modulated signal, and if the
desired user is employed with only a matched filter, then we cannot
use SINR. This is as follows:
After matched filtering, we have
r = A1*X1 + A2*X2 + n, 
where A1 is the desired user's signal amplitude, X1 is the desired
user's BPSK signal, A2 is the interference amplitude, X2 is the
corresponding BPSK signal. It is now straightforward that, by first
conditioned on X2, one can find the average BER of the desired user,
which then has to be averaged over the statistics of X2.

For completeness, assuming the standard deviation of n as sigma and X1
and X2 are equally likely BPSK signals, the following is the final
expression for the BER:

BER = 0.5*Q((A1+A2)/sigma) + 0.5*Q((A1-A2)/sigma).

hope that helps
Ramesh

For more complex example, when QPSK modulation is assumed for both desired 
and interfered signals,
can we still use a similar equation together with the following additional 
definitions?

> BER = 0.5*( 0.5*Q((A1+A2re)/sigma) + 0.5*Q((A1-A2re)/sigma)) +
               0.5*( 0.5*Q((A1+A2im)/sigma) + 0.5*Q((A1-A2im)/sigma)) +

where A1 = w*h1, A2re = Re{w*h2}, A2im = Im{w*h2} while w = 
conj{h1}/abs{h1},
in which h1 and h2 denote complex channel response and
Re{}, Im{}, conj{.}, and abs{.} stand for real, image, conjugate and 
absolute, respectively.

Hi Vimal : you can always use the SINR directly to estimate BER but you may
not get a very good estimate. If the interference is gaussian at the output
of your matched filter then you'll get a good estimate , else you may well
get a bad one.
Best of luck - Mike

Mike, do you mean good performance by noting good estimation?

To be more clear my question, I'd like show one example related to my
question. If considered SNR is high, 

BER ~= 0.5*Q((A1-A2)/sigma) --> 0.5*Q(0) = 0.25

for good estimation where A1 = A2 is assumed, but for simple Gaussian
approximation case which is obviously not good estimation, it is 

BER ~= Q(A1/(A2+sigma)) -> Q(1) = 0.16

In this case, the above result reveals that the good estimation
produces worse BER.

Thus, as long as my analysis is correct, the good estimation dose not
(directly) mean for the good performance, right?

Hi James, 
you asked:- 

> Mike, do you mean good performance by noting good estimation? 

I don't think so. I was just talking about the quality of the
estimation, if it predicts low BER when it should predict high or high
when it should be low then its not as good as an estimator which gives
a better prediction.

> Thus, as long as my analysis is correct, the good estimation dose not

If your analysis is correct then the better method of estimation has
produced the most accurate estimate of the BER and that estimate of
the BER is higher than the estimate produced by the worse estimation
method , right.

Best of luck -Mike
