Sažetak
The main reason for the selection of single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) modulation technique in mobile high data rate communications lays in its low value of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). If spatial modulation, a multiple-input multiple-output technique that achieves bitrate increase, is applied to the SC-FDMA system in its conventional form, the PAPR level is increased. Hence, based on previously mentioned, in this paper, we provide the general design criteria for low PAPR spatial modulation (LPSM) implemented in SC-FDMA systems with multiple transmit antennas. The straightforward generalization of LPSM is derived and it is shown that it requires the number of transmit antennas to be doubled in order to add another bit in the spatial component. Based on that, the alternative generalized technique with higher number of spatial bits is proposed. As these techniques present single-stream generalizations, the approach with multiple-streams is proposed as well. After PAPR and performance comparisons, it is concluded that single-stream techniques outperform multiple-stream techniques in the cases of low overall data rate, whereas multiple-stream approach is better in high overall data rate scenarios. All proposed techniques maintain low PAPR level on all transmit antennas.
