Abstract
In this letter, we propose a new orthogonal coding-based modulation (OCBM) scheme, in which all available transmitting subcarriers and antennas are activated at a time instant to transmit the data constellation symbols, and the indices of the activated subcarriers and antennas are also harnessed to carry information bits. Our OCBM especially addresses a novel scheme in spatial modulation (SM) domain via employing virtual subarray, and improves the spectral efficiency compared with the existing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-spread spectrum (SS), index modulation (IM)-OFDM-SS and IM-OFDM based SM (the number of transmit antennas is more than 2). In addition, our investigated detection scheme of the OCBM reduces the complexity of the receiver design by using the unique behavior of the orthogonal code, especially for the detection of the transmitted antenna index bits. Our simulated experiments have been carried out to test the performance of the proposed scheme, and demonstrate the benefits of our suggested approach.
