Approximating the output SNR by a simple H-distribution, useful closed formulas for cumulative distribution function, moment generating function, outage probability, amount of fading, average capacity, and average symbol error rate for some M-ary modulation schemes are derived in terms of Meijer G-function. All results are illustrated and validated},

	abstract = {This paper presents four new iterative decoders for two dimensional product block codes (2D-PBC) based on Genetic Algorithms. Each of these iterative decoders runs in parallel on a number of processors connected by a network. They have almost the same complexity as the conventional iterative decoder, but their performances are improved since at each iteration, they trap the better of extrinsic information computed by the elementary decoders running simultaneously on all processors.},

	year = {2012},
	abstract = {In this article, we investigate the Shannon capacity for L-branch maximal combining ratio (MRC) over generalized multipath fading channel. We derive closed-form expressions of the maximal spectral efficiency over Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m, and Weibull multipath fading channel under flat fading conditions. The results are expressed in terms of Meijer G-functions, which can be evaluated numerically using mathematical tools such as Mathematica and Maple. We show, in particular, that the more the number L increases, the larger the Shannon capacity is. We deduce that four branches are sufficient in several cases to mitigate the fading effect and the channel model will approaches the one of AWGN.},
