Abstract

This paper proposes an opportunistic spatial modulation (OSM) scheme where the transmit antennas are divided into K≥ 1 equal groups, and the best antenna from each group is selected to form a K transmit antenna subset for implementing spatial modulation (SM). Thus, the activation of one antenna from the subset to transmit one of the M-ary modulation symbols achieves a data rate of log2(K) +log2(M) bits per channel use. Notably, special cases of OSM include conventional SM and pure single transmit antenna selection. To characterize and comparatively evaluate OSM, we first consider phase-shift keying modulation and derive a closed-form, improved union-bound of symbol error probability (SEP) wi..
