In future it is believed to be more challenging and complicated with the evolution of different types of fading model. These types of fading models determined in urban and rural areas. Rayleigh fading model is considered to be most common fading model, found in urban environment for non-line of sight. Rician fading consists of line of sight communication and found to be more applicable for satellite communication. Nakagami fading model is mostly suited for urban multipath propagation and it is sought to be most practical model, specially used in mobile communication. In order to achieve error free signal at the receiver the choice of modulation scheme should be done wisely. The combination of best efficient modulation scheme along with the block coding helps in getting the signal error free at the receiver. The condition of signal is decided by SNR v/s BER (bit error rate) simulation. Our main objective is to get error free result at the receiver, so for this different data transmission techniques are used to transmit the data from transmitter to receiver in various fading channels under different modulation schemes. Effect of shape factor on Nakagami fading is also covered in this thesis to get efficient results. The BER performance was to compared with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), Rayleigh-faded, Nakagami-m faded and Rician-faded channels. It has been further concluded that the BER vs. SNR performance graph in AWGN channel environment is better than that in Rayleigh, Nakagami-m and Rician-faded channel. It is also observed that by varying the standard-deviation of the channel, the BER vs. SNR performance graph is not going to be affected if the channel is considered Rayleigh-faded. In this paper we address a new aspect of UFMC system performance by investigating its capability to overcome the channel fading channels’ effects and to provide good and reliable performance levels overcome these channel effects.enUFMCRayleighRicianNakagamiAWGNcapacityThesis
