Generalized Multistream Spatial Modulation for Wireless Systems with Nakagami-M Fading

Abstract

This paper deals with the symbol error rate (SER) characteristics for generalized multistream spatial modulation systems (GMSM) which operate in Nakagami-m fading channels with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). In particular, GMSM system is considered, where single individual antenna or combinations of antennas can be used for information transmission. The special case when no antenna is active is also included in transmission system. The constellation of the phase-shift-keying (PSK) is utilized as the signal system. The computer simulation results are given for the following values of fading parameter m: 0.5, 0.6, 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 3. The case when fading does not present is also considered. The number of transmit antennas is equal to 4 and number of receive antennas can be 4, 6 or 8.
