Performance analysis of the golden-SM in the V2V network

Abstract

This paper shows that golden code spatial modulation (Golden-SM) improves the performance of bandwidth efficiency and reception in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) networks. The conventional multi-input multi-output (MIMO) scheme, space-time block code (STBC), increases the reception performance in correlated channel but cannot increase the bandwidth efficiency since it transmits two symbols during two symbol duration. SM increases the reception performance in correlated channel, and golden code increases the bandwidth efficiency since it transmits four symbols during two symbol duration. Therefore, the simulation shows Golden-SM scheme has better performance than STBC in V2V network channels which have Rician channel properties with correlation between transmit antennas.
