The authors derive an expression for the BER value of the power controlled BPSK over a Rayleigh fading channel, and show that this BER is upper bounded by the BER of the BPSK employing diversity. The derived upper bound is very simple to evaluate. It is shown through computer simulation that this bound is reasonably tight.
