Frequency domain equalization for single and multiuser generalized spatial modulation systems in time dispersive channels

Abstract

In this letter, a low-complexity iterative detector with frequency domain equalization is proposed for generalized spatial modulation (GSM) aided single carrier (SC) transmissions operating in frequency selective channels. The detector comprises three main separate tasks namely, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalization, active antenna detection per user and symbol wise demodulation. This approach makes the detector suitable for a broad range of MIMO configurations, which includes single-user and multiuser scenarios, as well as arbitrary signal constellations. Simulation results show that the receiver can cope with the intersymbol interference induced by severe time dispersive channels and operate in difficult underdetermined scenarios.
