Evolution of spatial modulation and reviewing of novel studies

Abstract

Spatial Modulation (SM) which provides to map a block of information bits to a constellation point in the signal domain and a constellation point in the spatial domain is a novel communication technology. It is aimed to use in 5G networks and it becomes popular for researchers each passing day. In this paper, at first, the evolution of SM technology is presented. The promoter technologies for SM are indicated and the fundamental architecture of SM is explained. Finally, the novel studies related with SM are also presented and discussed.
