Abstract

One of the main limitations in Spatial Modulation (SM) systems is the lack of transmit diversity, which directly impacts its error rate performance. The lack of the transmit diversity refers to activating only a single transmit antenna in SM systems. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that aims at improving the performance of SM systems by achieving half-full transmit diversity. The proposed scheme, called Half-Full Transmit-Diversity SM (HFTD-SM), divides the transmit antennas into two-antenna groups. From each group, only a single antenna is activated, and all active transmit antennas emits one modulated symbol. The proposed HFTD-SM scheme is shown to outperform the conventional SM performance in terms of spectral efficiency, error rate, and design flexibility, while maintaining the main property of SM representing by the need of only a single RF chain. Simulation results corroborate the superior performance of the proposed scheme as compared to other SM variants in the literature.
