Orthogonal space-time block codes allow utilising the diversity provided by multiple-input-multiple-output communication channels, thereby decreasing the error probability for a given communication rate. The contribution of this paper is the derivation of closed-form expressions of the symbol error probability of distributed codes deployed over Nakagami flat fading channels with different channel gains and fading parameters
