The proposed method is simple and uses channel state information (CSI) available at the receiver to choose the best subset of active receive antennas among the available N<inf>r</inf> receive antennas. Simulation results show that SM MIMO system with the proposed receive antenna selection scheme provides a performance gain of approximately 5 dB over conventional SM system (SM MIMO system without antenna selection). The proposed scheme does not increase the RF chain requirement at the receiver and retains all the benefits of SM MIMO. © 2015 IEEE.active receive antenna subsetcross channel gain metric (CCGM)Spatial Modulationsquare channel gain metric (SCGM)
