This paper proposes extremely accurate and generic exponential-based approximations for the Gaussian Q function. The Romberg numerical integration technique and Richardson extrapolation method are utilized to achieve accurate yet simple approximations. The significance of the proposed work is extensively illustrated by comparing it with other existing approximations, and its application in communication theory is demonstrated using the versatile Kappa-mu shadowed fading channel, which facilitates error performance metrics for wireless communication systems. Computer simulations are also used to solidify the analysis.
In this paper, we propose extremely accurate, generic, exponential based approximations for the Gaussian Q function. Precisely, we make use of the Romberg numerical integration technique which utilizes the Richardson extrapolation method. This method combines two trapezoidal based approximations thereby yielding accurate yet simple approximations for the Gaussian Q function. We extensively illustrate the significance of the proposed work by comparing it with several other approximations available in the open literature. To show the application of the proposed work in communication theory, as an instance, we further apply the six-term proposed approximation over the versatile Kappa - mu shadowed fading channel which facilitates the error performance metrics for several wireless communication systems. In addition, the analysis is solidified with the help of computer simulations.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
