I have an AWGN channel model (for single user)
The noise is: nu~N(0,sqrt(N0)) 0 mean and sqrt(N0) standard deviation, where
N0 is the noise energy. In my case SNR=1/N0.
How can I calculate the theoretical Bit error rate?
It depends on the data format.
In the case of binary antipodal transmission, the theoretical performance for optimal receiver is erfc(sqrt(Eb/No))/2, where Eb is the bit energy, No is the noise power spectral density [Watts/Hz], and erfc() is the complementary error function.

Hello!
Thanks for your andwer!
I'd like to transmit binary data e.g {-1,1}. If the noise has 0 mean and
sqrt(N0) standard deviation, and Eb=1 then is that suitable calculation you
wrote me for theoretical BER?
