In this study a novel scheme called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDMIM) is proposed for frequency selective channels. In this scheme the information is conveyed not only by only M -ary signal constellations as in classical OFDM but also by the indices of the active subcarriers which are determined according to the information bits. Different transceiver structures have been investigated for the proposed scheme and it has been shown via computer simulations ...

In this paper we propose a generalized light emitting diode (LED) index modulation scheme for multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) visible light communications (VLC) systems. The proposed scheme generalizes the LED index modulation concept by using the spatial multiplexing principle to transmit complex OFDM signals through VLC channels by separating these signals into their real-imaginary and positive-negative parts. The maximum a posteriori (MAP) ...

Spatial modulation (SM) in which multiple antennas are used to convey information besides the conventional M-ary signal constellations is a new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission technique which has recently been proposed as an alternative to V-BLAST (vertical Bell Labs layered space-time). In this paper a novel MIMO transmission scheme called spatial modulation with trellis coding (SM-TC) is proposed. Similar to the conventional trellis coded modulation (TCM) in this scheme a ...

In this paper we propose optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (O-OFDM-IM) for visible light communications (VLC) systems employing light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors (PDs). The proposed scheme uses the indices of the active subcarriers of an optical OFDM system to transmit additional information bits. In the proposed scheme the bipolar signals are asymmetrically clipped or DC biased and a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) calculation based detector is used ...

In this paper a new optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) method is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communications (VLC) systems. In the new scheme non-DC biased optical OFDM (NDC-OFDM) and optical spatial modulation (OSM) methods are combined to obtain a novel optical OFDM scheme which has a better error performance. The new scheme is named as non-DC biased optical spatial modulation OFDM (NDC-OSM-OFDM). It is shown via computer simulations ...

In this paper a novel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme called OFDM with index modulation (OFDM-IM) is proposed for operation over frequency-selective and rapidly time-varying fading channels. In this scheme the information is conveyed not only by M-ary signal constellations as in classical OFDM but also by the indices of the subcarriers which are activated according to the incoming bit stream. Different low complexity transceiver structures based on maximum likelihood ...

Visible light communication (VLC) involves the dual use of illumination infrastructure for high speed wireless access. Designing such optical based communication systems realistic indoor optical channel modeling becomes an important issue to be handled. In this paper first we obtain new realistic indoor VL channel characterizations and models in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission scenario using non-sequential ray tracing approach for the channel impulse responses (CIRs). Practical ...

Emerging two-path successive relaying protocols generally rely on error-free source-relay channels and/or interference-free inter-relay channels to achieve high-rate and full-diversity. In this paper by removing these optimistic assumptions a novel two-path successive relaying scheme that benefits from relay selection and distributed space-time block coding (STBC) and transfers the data from the source to the destination via relays in a reliable fashion is proposed. The proposed scheme can achieve ...

A novel multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission scheme called space-time block coded spatial modulation (STBC-SM) is proposed. It combines spatial modulation (SM) and space-time block coding (STBC) to take advantage of the benefits of both while avoiding their drawbacks. In the STBC-SM scheme the transmitted information symbols are expanded not only to the space and time domains but also to the spatial (antenna) domain which corresponds to the on/off status of the transmit antennas ...

Spatial modulation (SM) which employs the indices of multiple transmit antennas to transmit information in addition to the conventional M-ary signal constellations is a novel transmission technique that has been proposed for multiple-input multiple-output systems. In this study a new class of space-time trellis codes called 'super-orthogonal trellis-coded SM' (SOTC-SM) is proposed. These codes combine set partitioning and a super set of space-time block coded SM (STBC-SM) codewords to achieve ...
