ABSTRACT
The research focus in wireless communication access technologies is
driven by the demand for high peak data rates and significantly
improved spectral efficiencies, as well as the support for specific
quality of service (QoS) requirements. By leveraging the
orthogonality of space constellations and signal constellations, well-
established digital signal modulation schemes can be employed. The
spatial multiplexing gain is achieved through the concurrent
transmission of spatially encoded bits. This thesis investigates and
compares the analytical and numerical performance of Spatial
Modulation (SM) under various channel conditions, taking into
account practical channel considerations, in comparison to existing
MIMO techniques. The results demonstrate that SM achieves a low
bit error ratio (BER) while substantially reducing receiver
complexity, all while maintaining spectral efficiency.

I. INTRODUCTION
The rise of wireless communication systems like
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication [1] and
wireless high-definition (HD) television has
stimulated research in MIMO technology. MIMO has
emerged as a key technique for enhancing data
throughput, link reliability, and spectral efficiency [2-
4]. MIMO techniques can be broadly categorized into
spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing schemes.
Spatial diversity techniques [5, 6] enhance link
reliability by transmitting multiple redundant copies
of data over independent channels to the receiver.
Alamouti's scheme [6] is a popular transmit diversity
technique that utilizes a pair of transmit antennas to
achieve complete transmit diversity. However, this
approach trades diversity gains for low spectral
efficiency, which remains unchanged compared to a
single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system [7].
Among the various existing technologies, multiple-
input multiple-output (MIMO) with adaptive coding
and modulation holds promise as a candidate for
future wireless systems. MIMO systems enhance
spectral efficiency by utilizing multiple transmit
antennas to simultaneously transmit data to the
receiver. Adaptive modulation and coding enable
robust and efficient transmission over channels that
vary over time. The fundamental principle is to
estimate the channel at the receiver and provide this
estimate as feedback to the transmitter, allowing the
transmission scheme to adapt to the channel
characteristics. The concept involves treating the
transmit antenna array as a spatial constellation
diagram, where the actual antennas serve as
constellation points. Each spatial constellation point
is mapped to a distinct bit sequence. At any given
moment, only one antenna transmits energy, and the
relevant information is encoded in the physical
location of the transmitting antenna or spatial
constellation point. Naturally, this necessitates a

novel detection process at the receiver, known as
antenna detection.
RELATED WORK
Space shift keying (SSK) modulation in [28] can be
regarded as a specific instance of Spatial Modulation
(SM), where only the transmit antenna indices convey
information. The SSK scheme eliminates the need for
conventional modulation techniques, reducing
receiver complexity compared to SM while
maintaining performance gains. Similar to SM, SSK
schemes are limited to a number of transmit antennas
that are a power of two. When the transmit antenna
constraint cannot be met, the generalized SSK
(GSSK) scheme [29] offers a viable solution. In [29],
GSSK utilizes combinations of antenna indices to
transmit information, allowing for application to any
antenna configuration. However, the flexibility of
GSSK comes at the cost of reduced performance
compared to SSK [29].
Fractional bit encoded spatial modulation (FBE-SM)
in [30] represents a more versatile SM scheme based
on modulus conversion theory. The FBE-SM
approach enables the transmitter to operate with an
arbitrary number of antennas, making it suitable for
compact mobile devices with limited space for
transmit antennas. Numerical results demonstrate that
FBE-SM provides design flexibility and the necessary
degrees of freedom to balance performance and
capacity [30].
Trellis coded spatial modulation (TCSM) in [31]
incorporates trellis coded modulation (TCM) into the
antenna constellation points of SM. This increases the
distance between antenna constellation points, leading
to improved performance over spatially correlated
channels. The TCSM scheme is analyzed in [32],
which proposes an analytical framework for
performance evaluation over correlated fading
channels.
Soft-output maximum likelihood (ML) detection in
[33] introduces a soft-output ML detector for SM
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
systems, surpassing the performance of conventional
hard decision-based SM detectors.
SM with partial channel state information (CSI) at the
receiver in [34] develops and analyzes an SM detector
with an unknown phase reference at the receiver.
Monte Carlo simulations validate the analytical
frameworks and investigate the performance of the
proposed detector. Results highlight the severe
degradation of SM performance when phase
information is unavailable at the receiver,
emphasizing the importance of accurate channel
estimation for efficient SM operation [34].
Optical spatial modulation (OSM) in [35] is an indoor
optical wireless communication technique based on
SM. The OSM scheme achieves double and
quadruple the data rate compared to conventional on-
off keying and pulse-position modulation techniques,
respectively [35]. In [36], channel coding is applied to
OSM, and the bit error rate (BER) performance of
both hard and soft detectors is analyzed analytically.
Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the
application of channel coding techniques enhances
OSM performance by approximately5dB and 7dB for
hard and soft decisions, respectively [36].
Normalized maximum ratio combining (NMRC)
detector in [37] proposes a low-complexity sub-
optimal SM detection algorithm for unconstrained
channels. Additionally, an antenna index (AI) list-
based detector is introduced [37]. Monte Carlo
simulation results and analysis indicate that the AI
list-based scheme achieves near-optimal performance
with reduced complexity compared to the optimal SM
detector. However, the AI list-based detector operates
efficiently only for list sizes equal to half the number
of transmit antennas, resulting in a 40% increase in
complexity compared to the NMRC scheme.
Space-time block coded spatial modulation (STBC-
SM) in [38] combines SM and STBC to exploit the
transmit diversity potential of MIMO channels. The
proposed scheme is analyzed in [38], deriving a
closed-form expression for the average BER. Monte
Carlo simulation results support the analytical
frameworks and demonstrate the performance
advantages of STBC-SM over SM. Results indicate
that STBC-SM offers performance enhancements of
3dB-5dB (depending on spectral efficiency)
compared to conventional SM [38]. It should be noted
that a similar scheme termed Alamouti coded spatial
modulation is proposed in this dissertation; however,
both schemes have been independently developed
based on different paradigms employed.
II. SPATIAL MODULATION
In this section, we commence byintroducing the SM–
MIMO concept, illustrating it with the aid of some
simple examples. Again, we denote by Nt and Nr the
number of TAs and RAs, respectively. The
cardinality of the signal constellation diagram is
denoted by M. Either PSK or QAM are considered. In
general, Nt, Nr, and M can be chosen independently
of each other. At the receiver, optimum ML
demodulation is considered. Thus, Nr can be chosen
independently of Nt . For ease of exposition, we
assume and with nt and m being two
positive integers. In Section IV, we describe general
SM–MIMO encodings as well as some suboptimal
(non-ML) demodulation schemes.

In Fig. 1, the SM–MIMO concept is illustrated for Nt
= M = 2, and it is compared to the conventional SMX
scheme and the OSTBC scheme designed for transmit
diversity. In the latter case, the Alamouti scheme is
considered as an example [80].
In SMX–MIMO, two PSK/QAM symbols (S1 and
S2) are simultaneously transmitted from a pair of TAs
in a single channel use. For arbitrary Nt and M, the
rate of SMX is bpcu.
Figure 1 Illustration of three MIMO concepts:
(a) spatial multiplexing; (b) transmit diversity;
and (c) SM.
In OSTBC–MIMO, two PSK/QAM symbols (S1 and
S2) are first encoded and then simultaneously
transmitted from a pair of TAs in two channel uses.
For arbitrary Nt and M, the rate of OSTBC is
bpcu, where is the
rate of the space-time block code and NM is the
number of information symbols transmitted in Ncu
channel uses If, as shown in Fig. 1, the Alamouti code
is chosen, then we have Rc = 1.
In SM–MIMO, only one (S1) out of the two symbols
is explicitly transmitted, while the other symbol (S2)
is implicitly transmitted by determining the index of
the active TA in each channel use. In other words, in
SM–MIMO, the information symbols are modulated
onto two information carrying units: a) one
PSK/QAM symbol; and b) a single active TA via an
information-driven antenna-switching mechanism.
For arbitrary Nt and M, the rate of SM
is bpcu [76], [82].
In Figs. 2 and 3, the encoding mechanism of SM–
MIMO is illustrated for Nt = M= 4 by considering
two generic channel uses, where the concept of ‘‘SM
or spatialconstellation diagram’’ is also introduced.
The rate of this MIMO setup is
bpcu, hence the encoder
processes the information bits in blocks of four bits
each. In the first channel use shown in Fig. 2, the
block of bits to be encoded is ‘‘1100.’’ The first
bits, ‘‘11,’’ determine the single active TA
(TX3), while the second bits, ‘‘00,’’
determine the transmitted PSK/QAM symbol.
Likewise, in thesecond channel use shown in Fig. 3,
the block of bits to be encoded is ‘‘0001.’’ The first
bits, ‘‘00,’’ determine the single active TA
(TX0), while the second bits, ‘‘01,’’
determine the transmitted PSK/ QAM symbol.
The activated TA may change every channel use
according to the input information bits. Thus, TA
switching is an effective way of mapping the
information bits to TA indices and of increasing the
transmission rate. It is worth mentioning here that the
idea of increasing the rate of wireless
communications using TA switching has been alluded
in pioneering MIMO papers under the concept of
‘‘spatial cycling using one transmitter at a time’’.

(first channel use).

(second channel use).
The information bits are modulated onto a 3-D
constellation diagram, which generalizes the known
2-D (complex) signal-constellation diagram of
PSK/QAM modulation schemes. The thirddimension
is provided by the antenna array, where some of the
bits are mapped to the TAs. In SM–MIMO research,
this third dimension is termed the ‘‘spatial-
constellation diagram’’ [76]. In simple mathematical

terms, the signal model of SM– MIMO, assuming a
frequency-flat channel model, is as follows:
where is the complex received
vector; is the complex channel matrix;
is the complex AWGN at the receiver; and
is the complex modulated vector with
being the complex (scalar) PSK/QAM
modulated symbol belonging to the signal-
constellation diagram and being the Nt×1 vector
belonging to the spatial-constellation diagram as
follows:
where et is the tth entry of e for t = 1, 2,...,Nt. In other
words, the points (Nt-dimensional vectors) of the
spatialconstellation diagram are the Nt unit vectors of
the natural basis of the Nt-dimensional Euclidean
space.
If Nt = 1, SM–MIMO reduces to conventional
singleantenna communications, where the
information bits are encoded only onto the signal-
constellation diagram. In this case, the rate
is . On the other hand, if M = 1 the
information is encoded only onto the spatial-
constellationdiagrambyproviding
etequalto . In particular, SSK modulation
is a MIMO scheme, where data transmission takes
place only through the informationdriven TA
switching mechanism. It is apparent that SM– MIMO
can be viewed as the combination of single-antenna
PSK/QAM and SSK–MIMO modulations.
III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
Figure 4 illustrates the system model of the proposed
two-user multiple access spatial modulation (MA-
SM) system with adaptive modulation and coding
(AMC). The system comprises a multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) wireless link. Within this
setup, two user transmitters transmit their signals
through a Rayleigh fading channel to a shared
receiver. The receiver, equipped with a spatial
modulation (SM) demodulator and a maximum
likelihood (ML) detector as described in the previous
section, plays a crucial role. It computes the joint
probability of the two received signals and employs
the ML detector to calculate the Euclidean distance
between the received vector signal and the set of all
possible received signals. The ML detector then
selects the closest signal based on this distance
calculation..
Figure 4. 2-user Multiple Access Spatial
Modulation with ACM System Model
In contrast to conventional spatial modulation (SM),
which assigns the same modulation order for data
mapping across all transmit antennas, the proposed
scheme introduces a switching unit at the user end.
This switching unit dynamically selects modulation
orders for each transmit antenna. Specifically, when
the channel exhibits slow variations, the adaptive unit
at the receiver calculates the optimal modulation
candidate for transmission and communicates this
information to the two users through a low-bandwidth
feedback path. Subsequently, the transmitters utilize
the assigned modulation orders for the subsequent
channel usage.
The adaptive unit utilizes the channel state
information obtained by the receiver to determine the
optimal level of modulation. This information is then
relayed back to the transmitters of both users, who
adjust their modulation schemes accordingly for the
next transmitted signal. If the channel conditions
change, the modulation order is also adjusted. This
adaptation is achieved by predefining a minimum and
maximum bit error rate (BER) threshold. The receiver
compares the BER of the received signal with these
pre-set values. If the BER is lower than the desired
threshold, the frame size of the transmitted signal can
be increased. Conversely, if the BER is higher than
the desired threshold, the frame size of the
transmitted signal is reduced. The ultimate goal is to
optimize the utilization of the available channel
bandwidth. Depending on the channel's requirements
and characteristics, the transmitter dynamically adapts
itself to the most suitable modulation scheme,
ensuring a desired BER for improved spectral
efficiency.
IV. SIMULATION AND RESULTS
In this particular section, our focus lies on the
examination and comparison of graphs obtained
under different levels of channel attenuation, both
with and without adaptive coding and modulation

(ACM). Each presented simulation graph
encompasses four distinct results. The pink and cyan
graphs represent the outcomes of a two-user multiple
access spatial modulation system without ACM,
while the red and blue graphs showcase the results
obtained using our proposed methodology with ACM.
Throughout the subsequent section, we delve into the
exploration of diverse variations in the simulation
results achieved by manipulating the channel
attenuation of the system. This alteration in channel
attenuation impacts the channel state information
(CSI) and illustrates the functioning of adaptive
modulation. The graphs primarily investigate the bit
error rate (BER) of the system relative to the signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR) in dB of the proposed scheme.
The ultimate objective, as previously stated, is to
minimize the BER of the received signal, which
becomes strikingly evident upon mere observation of
the graphs.
Figure 5 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 1 and 2 dB respectively.
The depicted graph showcases the behavior of signals
with and without adaptive coding and modulation
(ACM), where User1 and User2 possess channel
attenuations of 1 and 2, respectively. In the graph
without ACM, which solely employs multiple access
spatial modulation, the bit error rate (BER) is higher.
While it gradually decreases with the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR), it does not go below 0.001. Conversely,
in the presence of ACM, the BER follows a more
linear trend and sharply declines towards predefined
lower bound values. These upper and lower bound
values are predetermined to keep the BER within a
prescribed range and adjust the modulation scheme
accordingly.
Figure 6 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 2 and 1 dB respectively.
The current graph represents a reversal of the
previous one, where the values are comparable except
for the distinction that user1 now has a channel
attenuation of 2, while user2 maintains a value of 1.
The behavior observed remains identical to that of the
previous graph. This consistency arises from the
utilization of a system that calculates the joint
probability of both received signals, resulting in
consistent outcomes. The behavior primarily relies on
the properties of the channel, indicating that the
receiver's response remains unchanged regardless of
the number or position of the transmission antennas.
Figure 7 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 3 and 1 dB respectively.
Within this graph, we raise the channel attenuation of
user1 to 3 while keeping the channel attenuation of
user2 at 1. The behavior of user2 exhibits a higher bit
error rate (BER), whereas user1 displays a lower BER
with a more rapid decline. When compared to the
International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD59660 | Volume – 7 | Issue – 4 | Jul-Aug 2023 Page 225
previous graph, where user2 had a channel
attenuation of 1, the current graph demonstrates a
steeper trend. Moreover, increasing the channel
attenuation of user1 leads to a modification in the
receiver properties, resulting in an overall reduction
in the BER value.
Figure 8 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 0 and 1 dB respectively.
To conduct a more comprehensive analysis, user1's
channel attenuation is decreased to 0, while user2's
attenuation remains at 1. The resulting outcome is
notably distinct, as evident from the graph. For user1,
both with and without adaptive coding and
modulation (ACM), the bit error rate (BER) remains
constant. This could be attributed to the receiver's
inability to calculate the minimum distance, resulting
in a consistent BER value. On the other hand, for
user2, the graph abruptly terminates when ACM is
employed. This observation necessitates further
investigation to gain a deeper understanding of the
system's behavior in this scenario.
Figure 9 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 10 and 1 dB respectively.
Let us up the ante now by taking channel attenuation
of user 1 as 10. When the difference in channel
attenuation value is high the receiver sends back
information to compensate for the BER and thus the
BER of the other user, user2 in this case drastically
increases. The BER of user1 is lower than in any of
the previous cases.
Figure 10 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 0.5 and 1 dB respectively.
The graph presents an intriguing observation. In this
case, the channel attenuation for user1 is 0.5, which
lies between the values of 0 and 1. Interestingly, the
graph exhibits characteristics that closely resemble
the scenario where the channel attenuation is set to 1.
This implies that when the difference in channel
attenuation is small, the disparity in the bit error rate
(BER) values diminishes. However, the overall
behavior remains consistent.
Figure 11 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 0.005 and 1 dB respectively.
International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD59660 | Volume – 7 | Issue – 4 | Jul-Aug 2023 Page 226
By reducing user1's channel attenuation to 0.005, a
different outcome is observed, lying between the bit
error rate (BER) values of users with channel
attenuations of 0 and 1. Both user1, with and without
adaptive coding and modulation (ACM), maintain a
relatively stable BER as observed in the case of
channel attenuation 0. However, the second users
display a more gradual decline in the graph. This
suggests that the receiver is attempting to optimize
channel utilization by striking a balance between the
two channel attenuation values, aligning with our
original objective.
When considering channel attenuation values of 1 for
user1 and 0.1 for user2, the graph representing the
multiple access spatial modulation (SM) case exhibits
a slight decrease compared to its previous state.
Consequently, the user with adaptive coding and
modulation (ACM) aligns closely with it, especially
in the scenario where the channel attenuation is set to
0.1.
Figure 12 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2
with and without ACM and channel attenuation
of 1 and 0.1 dB respectively.
V. CONCLUSION
We conducted a study on the performance of a
multiple access spatial modulation system with
adaptive coding and modulation (ACM). By
implementing a maximum likelihood (ML) receiver in
a Rayleigh fading channel, we successfully improved
the system performance through ACM and code-
division multiple access (CDMA). We examined the
impact of varying channel attenuation values and the
number of antennas on the bit error rate (BER). The
results demonstrated a significant enhancement in
BER with ACM compared to the absence of ACM and
CDMA.
Furthermore, we investigated the BER of both users
under different changes in channel attenuation. The
receiver consistently exhibited similar performance
characteristics for both users, which was a key
consideration. To optimize the received signals, we
employed the concept of joint probability.

By leveraging the orthogonality of space constellations and signal constellations, well- established digital signal modulation schemes can be employed. The spatial multiplexing gain is achieved through the concurrent transmission of spatially encoded bits. This thesis investigates and compares the analytical and numerical performance of Spatial Modulation (SM) under various channel conditions, taking into account practical channel considerations, in comparison to existing MIMO techniques. The results demonstrate that SM achieves a low bit error ratio (BER) while substantially reducing receiver complexity, all while maintaining spectral efficiency.

INTRODUCTION The rise of wireless communication systems like vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication [1] and wireless high-definition (HD) television has stimulated research in MIMO technology. MIMO has emerged as a key technique for enhancing data throughput, link reliability, and spectral efficiency [2- 4]. MIMO techniques can be broadly categorized into spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing schemes. Spatial diversity techniques [5, 6] enhance link reliability by transmitting multiple redundant copies of data over independent channels to the receiver. Alamouti's scheme [6] is a popular transmit diversity technique that utilizes a pair of transmit antennas to achieve complete transmit diversity. However, this approach trades diversity gains for low spectral efficiency, which remains unchanged compared to a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system [7]. Among the various existing technologies, multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO) with adaptive coding and modulation holds promise as a candidate for future wireless systems. MIMO systems enhance spectral efficiency by utilizing multiple transmit antennas to simultaneously transmit data to the receiver. Adaptive modulation and coding enable robust and efficient transmission over channels that vary over time. The fundamental principle is to estimate the channel at the receiver and provide this estimate as feedback to the transmitter, allowing the transmission scheme to adapt to the channel characteristics. The concept involves treating the transmit antenna array as a spatial constellation diagram, where the actual antennas serve as constellation points. Each spatial constellation point is mapped to a distinct bit sequence. At any given moment, only one antenna transmits energy, and the relevant information is encoded in the physical location of the transmitting antenna or spatial constellation point. Naturally, this necessitates a IJTSRD59660

RELATED WORK Space shift keying (SSK) modulation in [28] can be regarded as a specific instance of Spatial Modulation (SM), where only the transmit antenna indices convey information. The SSK scheme eliminates the need for conventional modulation techniques, reducing receiver complexity compared to SM while maintaining performance gains. Similar to SM, SSK schemes are limited to a number of transmit antennas that are a power of two. When the transmit antenna constraint cannot be met, the generalized SSK (GSSK) scheme [29] offers a viable solution. In [29], GSSK utilizes combinations of antenna indices to transmit information, allowing for application to any antenna configuration. However, the flexibility of GSSK comes at the cost of reduced performance compared to SSK [29]. Fractional bit encoded spatial modulation (FBE-SM) in [30] represents a more versatile SM scheme based on modulus conversion theory. The FBE-SM approach enables the transmitter to operate with an arbitrary number of antennas, making it suitable for compact mobile devices with limited space for transmit antennas. Numerical results demonstrate that FBE-SM provides design flexibility and the necessary degrees of freedom to balance performance and capacity [30]. Trellis coded spatial modulation (TCSM) in [31] incorporates trellis coded modulation (TCM) into the antenna constellation points of SM. This increases the distance between antenna constellation points, leading to improved performance over spatially correlated channels. The TCSM scheme is analyzed in [32], which proposes an analytical framework for performance evaluation over correlated fading channels. Soft-output maximum likelihood (ML) detection in [33] introduces a soft-output ML detector for SM orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, surpassing the performance of conventional hard decision-based SM detectors. SM with partial channel state information (CSI) at the receiver in [34] develops and analyzes an SM detector with an unknown phase reference at the receiver. Monte Carlo simulations validate the analytical frameworks and investigate the performance of the proposed detector. Results highlight the severe degradation of SM performance when phase information is unavailable at the receiver, emphasizing the importance of accurate channel estimation for efficient SM operation [34]. Optical spatial modulation (OSM) in [35] is an indoor optical wireless communication technique based on SM. The OSM scheme achieves double and quadruple the data rate compared to conventional on- off keying and pulse-position modulation techniques, respectively [35]. In [36], channel coding is applied to OSM, and the bit error rate (BER) performance of both hard and soft detectors is analyzed analytically. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the application of channel coding techniques enhances OSM performance by approximately5dB and 7dB for hard and soft decisions, respectively [36]. Normalized maximum ratio combining (NMRC) detector in [37] proposes a low-complexity sub- optimal SM detection algorithm for unconstrained channels. Additionally, an antenna index (AI) list- based detector is introduced [37]. Monte Carlo simulation results and analysis indicate that the AI list-based scheme achieves near-optimal performance with reduced complexity compared to the optimal SM detector. However, the AI list-based detector operates efficiently only for list sizes equal to half the number of transmit antennas, resulting in a 40% increase in complexity compared to the NMRC scheme. Space-time block coded spatial modulation (STBC- SM) in [38] combines SM and STBC to exploit the transmit diversity potential of MIMO channels. The proposed scheme is analyzed in [38], deriving a closed-form expression for the average BER. Monte Carlo simulation results support the analytical frameworks and demonstrate the performance advantages of STBC-SM over SM. Results indicate that STBC-SM offers performance enhancements of 3dB-5dB (depending on spectral efficiency) compared to conventional SM [38]. It should be noted that a similar scheme termed Alamouti coded spatial modulation is proposed in this dissertation; however, both schemes have been independently developed based on different paradigms employed. II. SPATIAL MODULATION In this section, we commence byintroducing the SM– MIMO concept, illustrating it with the aid of some simple examples. Again, we denote by Nt and Nr the number of TAs and RAs, respectively. The cardinality of the signal constellation diagram is denoted by M. Either PSK or QAM are considered. In general, Nt, Nr, and M can be chosen independently of each other. At the receiver, optimum ML demodulation is considered. Thus, Nr can be chosen independently of Nt . For ease of exposition, we assume and with nt and m being two positive integers. In Section IV, we describe general SM–MIMO encodings as well as some suboptimal (non-ML) demodulation schemes.

In the latter case, the Alamouti scheme is considered as an example [80]. In SMX–MIMO, two PSK/QAM symbols (S1 and S2) are simultaneously transmitted from a pair of TAs in a single channel use. For arbitrary Nt and M, the rate of SMX is bpcu. Figure 1 Illustration of three MIMO concepts: (a) spatial multiplexing; (b) transmit diversity; and (c) SM. In OSTBC–MIMO, two PSK/QAM symbols (S1 and S2) are first encoded and then simultaneously transmitted from a pair of TAs in two channel uses. For arbitrary Nt and M, the rate of OSTBC is bpcu, where is the rate of the space-time block code and NM is the number of information symbols transmitted in Ncu channel uses If, as shown in Fig. 1, the Alamouti code is chosen, then we have Rc = 1. In SM–MIMO, only one (S1) out of the two symbols is explicitly transmitted, while the other symbol (S2) is implicitly transmitted by determining the index of the active TA in each channel use. In other words, in SM–MIMO, the information symbols are modulated onto two information carrying units: a) one PSK/QAM symbol; and b) a single active TA via an information-driven antenna-switching mechanism. For arbitrary Nt and M, the rate of SM is bpcu [76], [82]. In Figs. 2 and 3, the encoding mechanism of SM– MIMO is illustrated for Nt = M= 4 by considering two generic channel uses, where the concept of ‘‘SM or spatialconstellation diagram’’ is also introduced. The rate of this MIMO setup is bpcu, hence the encoder processes the information bits in blocks of four bits each. In the first channel use shown in Fig. 2, the block of bits to be encoded is ‘‘1100.’’ The first bits, ‘‘11,’’ determine the single active TA (TX3), while the second bits, ‘‘00,’’ determine the transmitted PSK/QAM symbol. Likewise, in thesecond channel use shown in Fig. 3, the block of bits to be encoded is ‘‘0001.’’ The first bits, ‘‘00,’’ determine the single active TA (TX0), while the second bits, ‘‘01,’’ determine the transmitted PSK/ QAM symbol. The activated TA may change every channel use according to the input information bits. Thus, TA switching is an effective way of mapping the information bits to TA indices and of increasing the transmission rate. It is worth mentioning here that the idea of increasing the rate of wireless communications using TA switching has been alluded in pioneering MIMO papers under the concept of ‘‘spatial cycling using one transmitter at a time’’. Figure 2 Illustration of the 3-D encoding of SM (first channel use). Figure 3 Illustration of the 3-D encoding of SM (second channel use). The information bits are modulated onto a 3-D constellation diagram, which generalizes the known 2-D (complex) signal-constellation diagram of PSK/QAM modulation schemes. The thirddimension is provided by the antenna array, where some of the bits are mapped to the TAs. In SM–MIMO research, this third dimension is termed the ‘‘spatial- constellation diagram’’ [76]. In simple mathematical

In other words, the points (Nt-dimensional vectors) of the spatialconstellation diagram are the Nt unit vectors of the natural basis of the Nt-dimensional Euclidean space. If Nt = 1, SM–MIMO reduces to conventional singleantenna communications, where the information bits are encoded only onto the signal- constellation diagram. In this case, the rate is . On the other hand, if M = 1 the information is encoded only onto the spatial- constellationdiagrambyproviding etequalto . In particular, SSK modulation is a MIMO scheme, where data transmission takes place only through the informationdriven TA switching mechanism. It is apparent that SM– MIMO can be viewed as the combination of single-antenna PSK/QAM and SSK–MIMO modulations. III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY Figure 4 illustrates the system model of the proposed two-user multiple access spatial modulation (MA- SM) system with adaptive modulation and coding (AMC). The system comprises a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless link. Within this setup, two user transmitters transmit their signals through a Rayleigh fading channel to a shared receiver. The receiver, equipped with a spatial modulation (SM) demodulator and a maximum likelihood (ML) detector as described in the previous section, plays a crucial role. It computes the joint probability of the two received signals and employs the ML detector to calculate the Euclidean distance between the received vector signal and the set of all possible received signals. The ML detector then selects the closest signal based on this distance calculation.. Figure 4. 2-user Multiple Access Spatial Modulation with ACM System Model In contrast to conventional spatial modulation (SM), which assigns the same modulation order for data mapping across all transmit antennas, the proposed scheme introduces a switching unit at the user end. This switching unit dynamically selects modulation orders for each transmit antenna. Specifically, when the channel exhibits slow variations, the adaptive unit at the receiver calculates the optimal modulation candidate for transmission and communicates this information to the two users through a low-bandwidth feedback path. Subsequently, the transmitters utilize the assigned modulation orders for the subsequent channel usage. The adaptive unit utilizes the channel state information obtained by the receiver to determine the optimal level of modulation. This information is then relayed back to the transmitters of both users, who adjust their modulation schemes accordingly for the next transmitted signal. If the channel conditions change, the modulation order is also adjusted. This adaptation is achieved by predefining a minimum and maximum bit error rate (BER) threshold. The receiver compares the BER of the received signal with these pre-set values. If the BER is lower than the desired threshold, the frame size of the transmitted signal can be increased. Conversely, if the BER is higher than the desired threshold, the frame size of the transmitted signal is reduced. The ultimate goal is to optimize the utilization of the available channel bandwidth. Depending on the channel's requirements and characteristics, the transmitter dynamically adapts itself to the most suitable modulation scheme, ensuring a desired BER for improved spectral efficiency. IV. SIMULATION AND RESULTS In this particular section, our focus lies on the examination and comparison of graphs obtained under different levels of channel attenuation, both with and without adaptive coding and modulation

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD59660 | Volume – 7 | Issue – 4 | Jul-Aug 2023 Page 224 (ACM). Each presented simulation graph encompasses four distinct results. The pink and cyan graphs represent the outcomes of a two-user multiple access spatial modulation system without ACM, while the red and blue graphs showcase the results obtained using our proposed methodology with ACM. Throughout the subsequent section, we delve into the exploration of diverse variations in the simulation results achieved by manipulating the channel attenuation of the system. This alteration in channel attenuation impacts the channel state information (CSI) and illustrates the functioning of adaptive modulation. The graphs primarily investigate the bit error rate (BER) of the system relative to the signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) in dB of the proposed scheme. The ultimate objective, as previously stated, is to minimize the BER of the received signal, which becomes strikingly evident upon mere observation of the graphs. Figure 5 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 1 and 2 dB respectively. The depicted graph showcases the behavior of signals with and without adaptive coding and modulation (ACM), where User1 and User2 possess channel attenuations of 1 and 2, respectively. In the graph without ACM, which solely employs multiple access spatial modulation, the bit error rate (BER) is higher. While it gradually decreases with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it does not go below 0.001. Conversely, in the presence of ACM, the BER follows a more linear trend and sharply declines towards predefined lower bound values. These upper and lower bound values are predetermined to keep the BER within a prescribed range and adjust the modulation scheme accordingly. Figure 6 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 2 and 1 dB respectively. The current graph represents a reversal of the previous one, where the values are comparable except for the distinction that user1 now has a channel attenuation of 2, while user2 maintains a value of 1. The behavior observed remains identical to that of the previous graph. This consistency arises from the utilization of a system that calculates the joint probability of both received signals, resulting in consistent outcomes. The behavior primarily relies on the properties of the channel, indicating that the receiver's response remains unchanged regardless of the number or position of the transmission antennas. Figure 7 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 3 and 1 dB respectively. Within this graph, we raise the channel attenuation of user1 to 3 while keeping the channel attenuation of user2 at 1. The behavior of user2 exhibits a higher bit error rate (BER), whereas user1 displays a lower BER with a more rapid decline. When compared to the

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD59660 | Volume – 7 | Issue – 4 | Jul-Aug 2023 Page 225 previous graph, where user2 had a channel attenuation of 1, the current graph demonstrates a steeper trend. Moreover, increasing the channel attenuation of user1 leads to a modification in the receiver properties, resulting in an overall reduction in the BER value. Figure 8 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 0 and 1 dB respectively. To conduct a more comprehensive analysis, user1's channel attenuation is decreased to 0, while user2's attenuation remains at 1. The resulting outcome is notably distinct, as evident from the graph. For user1, both with and without adaptive coding and modulation (ACM), the bit error rate (BER) remains constant. This could be attributed to the receiver's inability to calculate the minimum distance, resulting in a consistent BER value. On the other hand, for user2, the graph abruptly terminates when ACM is employed. This observation necessitates further investigation to gain a deeper understanding of the system's behavior in this scenario. Figure 9 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 10 and 1 dB respectively. Let us up the ante now by taking channel attenuation of user 1 as 10. When the difference in channel attenuation value is high the receiver sends back information to compensate for the BER and thus the BER of the other user, user2 in this case drastically increases. The BER of user1 is lower than in any of the previous cases. Figure 10 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 0.5 and 1 dB respectively. The graph presents an intriguing observation. In this case, the channel attenuation for user1 is 0.5, which lies between the values of 0 and 1. Interestingly, the graph exhibits characteristics that closely resemble the scenario where the channel attenuation is set to 1. This implies that when the difference in channel attenuation is small, the disparity in the bit error rate (BER) values diminishes. However, the overall behavior remains consistent. Figure 11 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 0.005 and 1 dB respectively.

Both user1, with and without adaptive coding and modulation (ACM), maintain a relatively stable BER as observed in the case of channel attenuation 0. However, the second users display a more gradual decline in the graph. This suggests that the receiver is attempting to optimize channel utilization by striking a balance between the two channel attenuation values, aligning with our original objective. When considering channel attenuation values of 1 for user1 and 0.1 for user2, the graph representing the multiple access spatial modulation (SM) case exhibits a slight decrease compared to its previous state. Consequently, the user with adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) aligns closely with it, especially in the scenario where the channel attenuation is set to 0.1. Figure 12 Comparison Results for users 1 and 2 with and without ACM and channel attenuation of 1 and 0.1 dB respectively. V. CONCLUSION We conducted a study on the performance of a multiple access spatial modulation system with adaptive coding and modulation (ACM). By implementing a maximum likelihood (ML) receiver in a Rayleigh fading channel, we successfully improved the system performance through ACM and code- division multiple access (CDMA). We examined the impact of varying channel attenuation values and the number of antennas on the bit error rate (BER). The results demonstrated a significant enhancement in BER with ACM compared to the absence of ACM and CDMA. Furthermore, we investigated the BER of both users under different changes in channel attenuation. The receiver consistently exhibited similar performance characteristics for both users, which was a key consideration. To optimize the received signals, we employed the concept of joint probability.
