We study the synergy between coded modulation and antenna-diversity reception on channels affected by slow Rician fading. Specifically, we assess the impact of channel-state information (CSI) on error probability. We show that with a good coding and constant envelope modulations (like PSK) scheme the loss in performance when CSI is not available is moderate (around 1.5 dB). Moreover, as the diversity order grows, the channel tends to become Gaussian.
