Space-Time

ABSTRACT

This thesis is concerned with developing a novel way of transmitting information using non- modulated symbols in sequence. In this scheme, which is named Space Shift Keying-Sequence Modulation (SSK-SqM), multiple time-slots are used. This enables the proposed scheme to accommodate the use of an odd number of transmit antennas instead of a multiple power of two in the cutting-edge technology of spatial modulation schemes.
The proposed technique in this thesis is based on a unique sequence of frequency-flat fading channels, on an incoming pattern of information bits. The flat-fading channels transmit data exclusively in the spatial domain. The proposed mapping table for the transmitter is utilized to build a system model equation. The suggested technique additionally incorporates the derived system model equation and a simple maximum likelihood detector. In a single-input-multiple- output (SIMO) setup, a validation framework is established by utilizing the mutual information (MI) and sample variance...
