Improved Coefficients for the Karagiannidis-Lioumpas Approximations and Bounds to the Gaussian Q-Function

no code implementations • 19 Jan 2021 • Islam M. Tanash, Taneli Riihonen

We revisit the Karagiannidis-Lioumpas (KL) approximation of the Q-function by optimizing its coefficients in terms of absolute error, relative error and total error.
