Abstract

In this letter, a novel multiple-input multiple-output transceiver technique, named space–time line coded spatial modulation (STLC-SM) is proposed, where two modulation symbols are transmitted through one of the multiple transmit antennas determined by the incoming information bits after constellation-rotated STLC encoding. The receiver decodes the transmitted modulation symbols and the activated antenna index through an optimal joint maximum-likelihood detector. As a main result, the closed-form upper-bound of bit-error-rate of the proposed STLC-SM system in general antenna configurations is mathematically analysed. Finally, it is validated that the STLC-SM significantly outperforms the conventional STLC in terms of the bit-error-rate.
