Abstract
The existing literature on transmit antenna selection (TAS) aided spatial modulation (SM) systems extensively deals with the Euclidean distance (ED) based TAS owing to its high transmit diversity gain. In this paper, we consider the ED-TAS aided generalized spatial modulation (GSM) system that transmits multiple symbols in each channel use and characterize its attainable diversity gain. Second, we show that the minimum ED of the received constellation does not grow beyond a certain point when the size of the signal set is sufficiently large, which facilitates low-complexity implementations of the ED-TAS aided SM system. Our numerical studies revealed that a signal-to-noise gain of about 8 dB is achievable by employing ED-TAS in the GSM system compared to its counterpart dispensing with ED-TAS.
