Improved Spatial Modulation for High Spectral Efficiency
Spatial Modulation (SM) is a technique that can enhance the capacity of MIMO
schemes by exploiting the index of transmit antenna to convey information bits.
In this paper, we describe this technique, and present a new MIMO transmission
scheme that combines SM and spatial multiplexing. In the basic form of SM, only
one out of MT available antennas is selected for transmission in any given
symbol interval. We propose to use more than one antenna to transmit several
symbols simultaneously. This would increase the spectral efficiency. At the
receiver, an optimal detector is employed to jointly estimate the transmitted
symbols as well as the index of the active transmit antennas. In this paper we
evaluate the performance of this scheme in an uncorrelated Rayleigh fading
channel. The simulations results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the
optimal SM and V-BLAST (Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered space-time at high
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). For example, if we seek a spectral efficiency of 8
bits/s/Hz at bit error rate (BER) of 10^-5, the proposed scheme provides 5dB
and 7dB improvements over SM and V-BLAST, respectively.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, International Journal of Distributed and

Adaptive Subcarrier PSK Intensity Modulation in Free Space Optical Systems
We propose an adaptive transmission technique for free space optical (FSO)
systems, operating in atmospheric turbulence and employing subcarrier phase
shift keying (S-PSK) intensity modulation. Exploiting the constant envelope
characteristics of S-PSK, the proposed technique offers efficient utilization
of the FSO channel capacity by adapting the modulation order of S-PSK,
according to the instantaneous state of turbulence induced fading and a
pre-defined bit error rate (BER) requirement. Novel expressions for the
spectral efficiency and average BER of the proposed adaptive FSO system are
presented and performance investigations under various turbulence conditions
and target BER requirements are carried out. Numerical results indicate that
significant spectral efficiency gains are offered without increasing the
transmitted average optical power or sacrificing BER requirements, in
moderate-to-strong turbulence conditions. Furthermore, the proposed variable
rate transmission technique is applied to multiple input multiple output (MIMO)
FSO systems, providing additional improvement in the achieved spectral
efficiency as the number of the transmit and/or receive apertures increases.Comment: Submitted To IEEE Transactions On Communication

Performance analysis of FSO using relays and spatial diversity under log-normal fading channel
The performance analysis of free space optical communication (FSO) system
using relays and spatial diversity at the source is studied in this paper. The
effect of atmospheric turbulence and attenuation, caused by different weather
conditions and geometric losses, has also been considered for analysis. The
exact closed-form expressions are presented for bit error rate (BER) of M-ary
quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) technique for multi-hop multiple-input
single-output (MISO) FSO system under log-normal fading channel. Furthermore,
the link performance of multi-hop MISO and multi-hop single-input and
single-output (SISO) FSO systems are compared to the different systems using
on-off keying (OOK), repetition codes (RCs) and M-ary pulse amplitude
modulation (M-PAM) techniques. A significant performance enhancement in terms
of BER analysis and SNR gains is shown for multi-hop MISO and multi-hop SISO
FSO systems with M-QAM over other existing systems with different modulation
schemes. Moreover, Monte-Carlo simulations are used to validate the accuracy
and consistency of the derived analytical results. Numerical results show that
M-QAM modulated multi-hop MISO and multi-hop SISO FSO system with relays and
spatial diversity outperforms other systems while having the same spectral
efficiency of each system.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 4th International Conference on Electrical Energy
