In this paper, we present a method to calculate the probability of error per
symbol (Symbol Error Probability, SEP) of M-ary Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (MQAM) over a slow, flat, identically independently distributed
Rician fading channels. Since the fading is one of the major constraints in
wireless communications, then diversity modulation technique is used for the
efficient transfer of message signals. Exact analysis of error probability
per symbol for MQAM, transmitted over Rician fading channels, is performed by
N branches of diversity reception using maximum ratio of signal-to-noise
power (maximal-ratio-combining, MRC), where the information in the channel on
the receiver side is known. The performances of MQAM over Rician fading
channels are here also analyzed. Approximate formula is used to represent SEP
for MQAM transmitted over Gaussian channels. Boundary condition for the
approximation is M≥4 and 0≤SNR≤30 dB.
