Design and Performance Analysis of Cooperative Index Modulation Transceiver for Wireless Networks

Abstract

The cellular market has experienced remarkable expansion in this decade. Due to remote working environment worldwide the mobile data traffic demands are growing higher even at home. The future wireless networks with Machine to Machine (M2M), Device to Device (D2D), Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2X) in the smart world demands high spectral efficiency and high data rate. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology has gained huge attention in the research community for its advantages as high data rate and link reliability. Conventional MIMO could achieve high Spectral Efficiency (SE) with massive number of antennas, but multiple active RF chains in the transmission increases the circuit power consumption. Hence the requirement for high data rate is achieved by compromising energy efficiency. New transmission protocols in physical layer are needed to optimize spectral and energy efficiency for future wireless networks. IM refers to a class of modulation techniques that rely on the activation statuses of some resources newline
