The study focuses on optimizing coefficients in the KL approximation of the Q-function to reduce absolute error, relative error, and total error. Different approaches are used to minimize maximum absolute/relative error, such as describing uniform error functions and numerical search. An additional coefficient is introduced to achieve tighter absolute and total error, although relative error may become unbounded. The KL expression is also extended to incorporate lower and upper bounds with optimized coefficients for minimizing error measures similar to the approximations.
We revisit the Karagiannidis-Lioumpas (KL) approximation of the Q-function by optimizing its coefficients in terms of absolute error, relative error and total error. For minimizing the maximum absolute/relative error, we describe the targeted uniform error functions by sets of nonlinear equations so that the optimized coefficients are the solutions thereof. The total error is minimized with numerical search. We also introduce an extra coefficient in the KL approximation to achieve significantly tighter absolute and total error at the expense of unbounded relative error. Furthermore, we extend the KL expression to lower and upper bounds with optimized coefficients that minimize the error measures in the same way as for the approximations.
