Here an analytical framework is presented in the indoor environment for determining the average bit error rate BER of the system over Rayleigh and Ricean fading channels. The analytical model is derived for quadrature phase shift keying QPSK modulation technique by taking into account the number of tones signal bandwidth BW bit rate and transmission power. Numerical results are presented to validate the analysis and to justify the approximations made therein. Moreover these results are shown to agree completely with those obtained by simulation. Keywords and phrases code division multiple access indoor fading channel OFDM maximum likelihood estimation. 1. INTRODUCTION High-data-rate multimedia communications is one of the challenges currently being addressed in the research domain for the upcoming next generation wireless systems 1 2 . Although the third generation 3G systems are supporting a maximum data rate of 153 kbps CDMA2000 and 384 kbps WCDMA for voice and data applications and Mbps for data-only CDMA 2000 1xEV-DO applications transmission rate for combined voice and data applications for the future generation systems is expected and needed to be much .
