Abstract
In this letter, we investigate the performance of a wireless communication system based on thermal noise modulation (TNM). In this system, the information is encoded in the variance of the thermal noise, enabling highly efficient low-power transmission. To assess the performance of the TNM scheme, we derive an exact closed-form expression for the bit error probability (BEP) using the maximum likelihood (ML) detector. Additionally, we provide a simple expression for calculating the optimal threshold value for the ML detector. To validate our findings, we evaluate the derived BEP and support it with Monte-Carlo simulation results.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
