Abstract
A layered spatial modulation (LSM) scheme is proposed for the downlink of multiuser wireless communication systems. The proposed scheme falls in the class of the well-known point-to-point SM as it employs only one antenna in each transmission interval. However, it is designed based on assigning different sets of transmit antennas, rather than single antenna elements, to transmit different symbols of each user. We first study the error performance of the proposed LSM. In order to improve the overall error performance of the system, we employ a graphical approach to adaptively allocate antennas to different users. We also propose some techniques to increase the spectral efficiency of LSM. Extending the proposed method to the generalized LSM, we also compare the maximum transmission rate of the proposed scheme with that of the existing SM-based multiuser schemes, and show that this technique can significantly improve the spectral efficiency of the SM-based multiuser communications.
