Abstract

A novel spatial modulation scheme based on Space-Shift Keying (SSK) modulation is introduced for MIMO system. The proposed scheme doubles the spectrum efficiency of SSK by assigning unique symbols to different combinations of antenna indexes per symbol duration, while retaining the SSK’s inherent advantages. The optimal detector is utilized at the receiver simultaneously. Analytical and simulation results show: 1) in Rayleigh fading channel scenario,the obtained gains in SNR for the same spectral efficiency of the proposed scheme over amplitude/phase modulation (APM), vertical Bell Labs layered structure (V-BLAST) and spatial modulation (SM) systems are obvious; 2) under the correlated channel assumption, the new one still outperforms SM and V-BLAST clearly, which indicates the new one is more robust in the presence of channel correlation.
