50 Years of Permutation, Spatial and Index Modulation: From Classic RF to Visible Light Communications and Data Storage
In this treatise, we provide an interdisciplinary survey on spatial
modulation (SM), where multiple-input multiple-output microwave and visible
light, as well as single and multicarrier communications are considered.
Specifically, we first review the permutation modulation (PM) concept, which
was originally proposed by Slepian in 1965. The PM concept has been applied to
a wide range of applications, including wired and wireless communications and
data storage. By introducing a three-dimensional signal representation, which
consists of spatial, temporal and frequency axes, the hybrid PM concept is
shown to be equivalent to the recently proposed SM family. In contrast to other
survey papers, this treatise aims for celebrating the hitherto overlooked
studies, including papers and patents that date back to the 1960s, before the
invention of SM. We also provide simulation results that demonstrate the pros
and cons of PM-aided low-complexity schemes over conventional multiplexing
schemes.Comment: 34 pages, 28 figures, 10 tables, accepted for publication in IEEE
