Mediumband wireless communication refers to wireless communication through a class of channels known as mediumband that exists on the TmTs-plane. This paper, through statistical analysis and computer simulations, studies the performance limits of this class of channels in terms of uncoded bit error rate (BER) and diversity order. We show that, owing mainly to the effect of the deep fading avoidance, which is unique to the channels in the mediumband region, mediumband wireless systems, if designed judiciously, have the potential to achieve significantly superior error rate and higher order diversity even in non-line-of-sight (NLoS) propagation environments where the achievable diversity order is otherwise low.
