5. (Total=34%) The figure below depicts a scenario where two base stations transmit. simultaneously the same Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signal to a car that is in the middle of two base stations and moves toward Base Station 2. The signal is expressed as

in which f0 is the carrier frequency, p(t) is a rectangular pulse with the width of T, and the amplitudes Ac and As can take on values from{±1, ±3}.
(c) (5%) Let the symbol error rate of QAM be approximated as
where Q represents the Q function and γ is the SNR. To improve the symbol error rate from
, roughly how much shall the SNR increase?
