For Fast Fading, Tsymbol ≈ Tcoherence or > Tcoherence, introduced random phase can remove correlation between symbolintroduced random phase can remove correlation between symbol phases, and hence leads to an irreducible error floor for differentialmodulation/demodulation.For coherent demodulation, if fading is known by receiver only:

Channel Inversion: A(a)=1/a to maintain a constant SNRZO for zero outage(e.g., same as perfect power control in CDMA) under average Tx power constraint : ( g , p p ) g p
Simplifies design (i.e., fixed rate at all channel states) but is power-inefficient since for very small a, A(a)=1/a is very large.
