On the Capacity and Performance of Generalized Spatial Modulation
Generalized spatial modulation (GSM) uses antenna elements but fewer
radio frequency (RF) chains () at the transmitter. Spatial modulation and
spatial multiplexing are special cases of GSM with and ,
respectively. In GSM, apart from conveying information bits through
modulation symbols, information bits are also conveyed through the indices of
the active transmit antennas. In this paper, we derive lower and upper
bounds on the the capacity of a ()-GSM MIMO system, where is the
number of receive antennas. Further, we propose a computationally efficient GSM
encoding (i.e., bits-to-signal mapping) method and a message passing based
low-complexity detection algorithm suited for large-scale GSM-MIMO systems.Comment: Expanded version of the IEEE Communications Letters pape
Generalized Spatial Modulation in Large-Scale Multiuser MIMO Systems
Generalized spatial modulation (GSM) uses transmit antenna elements but
fewer transmit radio frequency (RF) chains, . Spatial modulation (SM)
and spatial multiplexing are special cases of GSM with and
, respectively. In GSM, in addition to conveying information bits
through conventional modulation symbols (for example, QAM), the
indices of the active transmit antennas also convey information bits.
In this paper, we investigate {\em GSM for large-scale multiuser MIMO
communications on the uplink}. Our contributions in this paper include: ()
an average bit error probability (ABEP) analysis for maximum-likelihood
detection in multiuser GSM-MIMO on the uplink, where we derive an upper bound
on the ABEP, and () low-complexity algorithms for GSM-MIMO signal detection
and channel estimation at the base station receiver based on message passing.
The analytical upper bounds on the ABEP are found to be tight at moderate to
high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). The proposed receiver algorithms are found
to scale very well in complexity while achieving near-optimal performance in
large dimensions. Simulation results show that, for the same spectral
efficiency, multiuser GSM-MIMO can outperform multiuser SM-MIMO as well as
conventional multiuser MIMO, by about 2 to 9 dB at a bit error rate of
. Such SNR gains in GSM-MIMO compared to SM-MIMO and conventional MIMO
can be attributed to the fact that, because of a larger number of spatial index
bits, GSM-MIMO can use a lower-order QAM alphabet which is more power
efficient.Comment: IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications, accepte
Frequency domain equalization for single and multiuser generalized spatial modulation systems in time dispersive channels
In this letter, a low-complexity iterative detector with frequency domain equalization is proposed for generalized spatial modulation (GSM) aided single carrier (SC) transmissions operating in frequency selective channels. The detector comprises three main separate tasks namely, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalization, active antenna detection per user and symbol wise demodulation. This approach makes the detector suitable for a broad range of MIMO configurations, which includes single-user and multiuser scenarios, as well as arbitrary signal constellations. Simulation results show that the receiver can cope with the intersymbol interference induced by severe time dispersive channels and operate in difficult underdetermined scenarios.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio
Design guidelines for spatial modulation
A new class of low-complexity, yet energyefficient Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission techniques, namely the family of Spatial Modulation (SM) aided MIMOs (SM-MIMO) has emerged. These systems are capable of exploiting the spatial dimensions (i.e. the antenna indices) as an additional dimension invoked for transmitting information, apart from the traditional Amplitude and Phase Modulation (APM). SM is capable of efficiently operating in diverse MIMO configurations in the context of future communication systems. It constitutes a promising transmission candidate for large-scale MIMO design and for the indoor optical wireless communication whilst relying on a single-Radio Frequency (RF) chain. Moreover, SM may also be viewed as an entirely new hybrid modulation scheme, which is still in its infancy. This paper aims for providing a general survey of the SM design framework as well as of its intrinsic limits. In particular, we focus our attention on the associated transceiver design, on spatial constellation optimization, on link adaptation techniques, on distributed/ cooperative protocol design issues, and on their meritorious variants
Multidimensional Index Modulation in Wireless Communications
In index modulation schemes, information bits are conveyed through indexing
of transmission entities such as antennas, subcarriers, times slots, precoders,
subarrays, and radio frequency (RF) mirrors. Index modulation schemes are
attractive for their advantages such as good performance, high rates, and
hardware simplicity. This paper focuses on index modulation schemes in which
multiple transmission entities, namely, {\em antennas}, {\em time slots}, and
{\em RF mirrors}, are indexed {\em simultaneously}. Recognizing that such
multidimensional index modulation schemes encourage sparsity in their transmit
signal vectors, we propose efficient signal detection schemes that use
compressive sensing based reconstruction algorithms. Results show that, for a
given rate, improved performance is achieved when the number of indexed
transmission entities is increased. We also explore indexing opportunities in
{\em load modulation}, which is a modulation scheme that offers power
efficiency and reduced RF hardware complexity advantages in multiantenna
systems. Results show that indexing space and time in load modulated
multiantenna systems can achieve improved performance
