    Signal constellations employing multiplicative groups of Gaussian and Eisenstein integers for Enhanced Spatial Modulation
    (Elsevier B.V., 2017) G.D., G.S.; Raghavendra, R.; Koila, K.; Shripathi Acharya, U.
    In this paper, we propose two new signal constellation designs employing Gaussian and Eisenstein Integers for Enhanced Spatial Modulation (ESM). ESM is a novel technique which was propounded by Cheng et al. The advantage of ESM over other Spatial Modulation (SM) schemes lies in its ability to enhance spectral efficiency while keeping the energy efficiency intact. This is done by activating either one or two antennas judiciously depending upon the required trade-off. In ESM, information radiated from the antennas depends upon index of the active transmit antenna combination(s) and also on the set of constellation points chosen, which may include points from multiple constellations. In this paper, we propose signal constellations based on multiplicative groups of Gaussian and Eisenstein integers. The set comprising of Gaussian and Eisenstein integers serves as primary and secondary constellation points for Gaussian Enhanced Spatial Modulation (GESM) scheme. The secondary constellation points are deduced from a single geometric interpolation from the primary constellation points. The Monte Carlo simulation results indicate that the proposed nonuniform constellations achieve impressive SNR gains compared to conventional constellation points used in the design of ESM. This new design has been described for MIMO employing 4 × 4 and 8 × 8 antenna configurations with only two active antennas. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the pairwise error probability (PEP) for the GESM scheme has been deduced. The PEP is utilized to determine the upper bound on the average bit error probability (ABEP). Our simulations indicate that the proposed GESM from Gaussian and Eisenstein integers scheme outperforms all the other variants of SM including conventional ESM by at least 2.5 dB at an average bit error ratio (ABER) of 10?5. Close correspondence between the theoretical analysis and the Monte Carlo simulation results are observed. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

    Spatially Modulated Non Orthogonal Space Time Block Code: Construction and design from cyclic codes over Galois Field
    (Elsevier B.V., 2019) Godkhindi Shrutkirthi, G.S.; G.D., G.S.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.
    A new class of non-binary Spatially Modulated Non-orthogonal Space Time Block Code designs (SM-NSTBC) has been proposed. These designs employ full rank, length n,(n|qm?1,m?n) cyclic codes defined over GF(qm). The underlying cyclic code constructions have the property that the codewords when viewed as m×n matrices over GF(q) have rank equal to m (Full rank). These codes are punctured to yield m×m full rank matrices over GF(q). Rank preserving transformations are used to map the codewords of full rank codes over a finite field to full rank Space Time Block Codes. The proposed scheme can be generalized to handle any number of transmit antenna greater than two. Due to the characteristics of Full rank cyclic codes employed, a coding gain of approximately 1.5 dB to 5 dB is obtained over conventional STBC-SM and SM-OSTBC schemes. This is demonstrated for spectral efficiencies of 4, 5, 7 and 8 bpcu. Analytical as well as Monte-Carlo simulations show that proposed SM-NSTBC outperforms STBC-SM and its variants. The upper bound on average bit error rate has been derived and the computation complexity for ML detection has been estimated. © 2019
