	| Abstract | 
	Using the existing exact but quite complicated symbol error rate (SER) expressions for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) and M-ary differential phase shift keying (M-DPSK), we derive effective and concise closed-form asymptotic SER formulas especially in Rician-Nakagami fading channels. The derived formulas can be utilized to efficiently verify the achievable error rate performances of M-PSK and M-DPSK systems for the Rician-Nakagami fading environments. In addition, by exploiting the modulation gains directly obtained from the asymptotic SER formulas, we also theoretically demonstrate that M-DPSK suffers an asymptotic SER performance loss of 3.01dB with respect to M-PSK for a given M in Rician-Nakagami fading channels at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).  |
