A new expression for the Marcum Q-function involving an integral over a fixed interval is given. Tight upper and lower bounds are then derived and applied to the performance evaluation of noncoherent and differentially coherent detection of digital modulation over Nakagami fading channels.

Inspec keywords: fading channels; modulation; differential detection

Other keywords: lower bounds; differentially coherent detection; digital modulation; Marcum Q-function; fixed interval; Nakagami fading channels; upper bounds; integral representation; performance evaluation; noncoherent detection

Subjects: Modulation and coding methods; Signal detection; Signal processing theory
